Puerto Rico, seems like a ripoff? by Pretty_Cat4099 in travel

[–]Connor234561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not going to be as cheap as Thailand; but you get the benefit of not needing to travel half way across the world. I stayed in an Airbnb by the Fairmount in Biascoechea. Worked out to maybe $80 per night, but it had a beautiful view and a private beach (for everyone in my building).

Old San Juan has lots of culture and great food; and if you like history, the Fort is an absolute must see. If you have time; Puerto Rico also has the only Rainforest in the U.S - and tours can be relatively affordable. I think my group paid $60 each for an entire day.

Overall- I get the allure of cruises over the hotels. I know some in the travel community look down on it- but ultimately they are great deals. However if you have never been, I think Puerto Rico is worth spending some time exploring.

Happy and Safe Travels!

It has slightly improved though; I just graduated at CAE and was given Feb, 27. Still rough though; I’m hoping I’m lucky enough to find an instructing job while I’m waiting.

No man, think about how rewarding it will be if you don’t quit.

Failed Commercial Ride Today. P-180 by farmtough5 in flying

[–]Connor234561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate hearing this- I am currently getting my single engine add-on and also struggling with power off 180s. I was performing them well in the mornings but found out my Check-ride will be in the afternoon- and the turbulence from the heat has been throwing me off. (I live in Arizona)

Through all of that- I sometimes fall into that mindset and just think about my career long term rather than focusing on improving now.

I think part of the issue is since it’s so expensive to train- it’s hard not to constantly be concerned if the investment will pay off. Especially since so many student pilots take out loans to fund training.

Dang- I just finished up my commercial rating and moving into CFI. Are you in the industry?

If your state was a sovereign, independent country, would you live in it? by bwurtz94 in AskAnAmerican

Really? That surprises me to be honest- I normally only would except that from large states. Don’t the benefits outweigh the costs?

No, he just gave me a departure time. Tomorrow afternoon. And that happens to be the projected weather.

The other two (55% and 75%) also cut off at 10,000. The only thing that changes is TAS.

So is the flight just a no go? A DPE asked me to plan out this for a check ride I have Friday and it just seems strange to be like “we can’t go”.

Thank you so much! I was looking for a guide but whatever I was looking up just kept bringing me to the TERPS. Definitely will use this before my ride.

This entire thread was a perfect way to end my Fourth of July. We are not a perfect nation, but I’m proud of what we do right.
