Re: [MBZ] On the way to ABQ....

We've talked about airbnb. We're pretty close to the snowmobile trails so that would be our real market. Not much tourism in Caribou in the summer. Maybe being so close to the river we could bring in fisherman. Last summer the Arostook got so low I could walk across with knee high boots on...

LOL, its near a big city where the snowbirds go... We paid $95k for 72 acres, a house (well not much of one) and barn. Granted we got a deal but he was probably only going to end up around $100k if he'd used a realtor. The closest big city to us is either Bangor or Fredrickton. 3 hours drive to

Lots of nice land, none of it’s cheap, however. We’re looking at property in the Fort Valley area. 2.5 acre plots with a nice view of the mountains is $200k+ with utilities. We could put two homes on that, one for us, one for the youngster. At least that’s the thought process at present. -D

Yes, I know how to travel. I would have avoided this week but they scheduled it, then they now have these office workers (aka travel team) book it. There were a hell of a lot more flight options to ABQ on American than there were on Southwest. The southwest flight was about $40 cheaper, and

On American I get free checked bags and most of the time first class upgrades. If not first class I’m always on the extra leg room area up front. I checked in 24 hours in advance and got a58, but was still stuck at the back of the plane. Not sure if people actually go by those or just board

They board in groups of 10 now. Pre-COVID it was groups of 30. Kaleb, if you’re a road warrior you know to avoid travel at certain times of the year, like over Spring Break. Or do you? This was probably compounded because it’s ABQ - not a popular destination for most of the major carriers. -D
