I do not get this argument because it is the polar opposite of how we orally communicate dates. "Ninth February" was spoken by no one ever.*

This is how you know you are on Guam. The plane you hear could just as easily be military as it could be commercial. Hope to get a B-52 landing at Anderson. I saw one the last time I was here...

And since United won't use the second gate and because there is only one taxiway the arriving plane waits for the other to push back before it can get to the gate

PNI has two gates but United prefers to use just gate 1. This can cause JFK style issues (I'll explain later). Here's gate 1 and like MAJ, there are dedicated seats for Premier pax. #PaxEx

The food...especially the seafood is top notch...if you know where to go to get it. If you like Sashimi you will not be disappointed and Poke is as good as you'll find on Hawaii.

And there is Nan Madol, probably the least visited UNESCO World Heritage Site on the planet. The drive out takes over an hour. The hike in with sweltering heat and humidity takes twenty minutes over challenging terrain.

The water is warm and generally clear and would make for good snorkeling at the right location and the diving is fine but there's only one true operator on the island and the prices are higher here than on other central Pacific islands

Catch up time on Pohnpei as I didn't have time to write this up...🧵Even though it's Micronesia's capital, infrastructure can be an issue. Most if not all hotels have issues of varying degrees. But Starlink is here in force at a lot of establishments.
