British Sensibilities

Long flight and significant time change from LAX through ATL on the redeye and on to the small airport at Turks. The last time, I was flying into Provo with Ed Constantine in the Baron, and the strip seemed adequate - on a Delta 757, it took full reverse thrust and left us with about 500 fet of runway. Interesting that there's no external power units, so we had to lower the window shades to keep the heat out - and the air stairs were attached to a truck.

I'd forgotten that we were in a British colony, until we pulled out and started driving on the left. Many traffic circles, and perhaps the best measure of being genteel - instaed of "Yield" the signs say "Please give way."

And of course there was a gin and tonic waiting - the quinine reduces the risk of malaria.

No wonder the Brits have survived so long...

Catch you tomorrow from Haiti.
