Rest, Martha & Bohemia

We've decided to take a day of rest. What that means to people with "big eyes" wanting to see the many wonders of this area, is going at a slower pace. What that means for people with a small plane like Flash, is only covering a few hundred miles (remember, when we fly slow it's about 100mph).

So the current plan is get organized and fly from KPVD over to KMVY for lunch. By the way, that's Martha's Vineyard(!). So fun to see from the air, and in this case visit, places we've heard about for so many years.

Then fly Nantucket, Cape Cod, and maybe take another distant glimpse of Boston from the southeast. After that, climb offshore near Block Island and cruise Long Island to our hotel reservation in Bohemia, NY. Well, it's actually Holtsville near KISP (Long Island Mac Arthur Airport, motto: "Easy to leave.") in Islip, NY. I thought it would be cool to stay in Hicksville, but we couldn't find anything affordable there. Tomorrow a short though complicated hop through busy airspace to Linden for the Staten Island Ferry into Manhattan.

It turns out our decision to delay NYC for a day means we'll probably miss our President whom we've heard is there today. That's probably fortunate, because anywhere any President goes, nobody else does. That is, trying to get anywhere is greatly complicated. Trains, planes and automobiles are all instantly thrown into Thanksgiving mode as if it were a major holiday. I just looked at the TFR (air restrictions), and we'll just miss the edge by staying "in" Bohemia rather than Hicksville tonight. This trip has been so filled with synchronicities! As if weather, impromptu choices, Presidential visits, and the rest of the known universe are all in harmony with our happiness. But enough about me, what do you think about me. ;)

So onward...
