I really want to make the stop in Juneau... that'll be lovely, and novel (as oppose to use Anchorage Intl. again)

My concern is that it may be a rather short runway and may give us some issues on landing and taking off comfortably.

Let me know your opinions guys! :D

Who in their right minds decides that flying from a tropical paradise to a dangerous, snow storm lashed Alaskan City's airport surrounded by steep mountains is a good vacation decision?

Well, other than the possibility of Coconut Crabs, endemic to the Marianas, that are rarely known to drop coconuts down upon the unwary pedestrian's heads, I suppose being conked on the head with a coconut is better than having a 60#+ terrestrial crustacean do a drop bear routine on your sorry ass, as these large creatures are known to perform because it gets them out of the coconut palms fast.

Either way you're gonna need a lime and coconut in the morning.

Better to stay in the Mariana's and enjoy the weather while exercising a prudent amount of caution about Coconut Crabs, you could always boil one up and have a neighborhood crab feed and reduce the danger these critters represent.

After driving for 14 hours in RL, got just in time for the landing :)
Though the weather wasn't really nice, but still made it interesting

you landed quite well SHM!
I was shaking (fearful) on my approach cause I couldn't see a damn nothing until I broke an insidious cloud ceiling 500ft. And many other USA tourists had a time of their lives bringing their aircraft to safety on the gate, with up to 3 go-arounds.

I predict Portland is going to be a much user friendly experience today, and we'll just follow charted Departure from Juneau, which I think will be easier than that of attempt landing big jets there.

See you guys soon for the continuation of the Longest USA Tour Leg.
