I second this. There are a lot of hotels near the Newport stop on the PATH train. You can walk to the Hudson River and enjoy the view of Manhattan, there are stores and a mall right there in case you forgot anything. A quick train ride will have you in Midtown or Downtown Manhattan. Lastly, it is a convenient 20 min drive to the port and about the same to Newark. Here is the area I am talking about.

My bet is stray marks outside the bubbles. Happens all the time.

Found it. Most likely the trains would be routed right through the middle of Philadelphia in order to cross the Delair Bridge. https://www.inquirer.com/business/philadelphia-lng-gibbstown-new-fortress-energy-port-drbc-fracking-trains-20200920.html

What stretch of rail was the problem? Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore?

It looks like Southwest is coming to MIA. That should mean cheaper flight directly to Miami instead of the detour via Fort Lauderdale. Link to article

Well if it makes you feel any better, they are simulated mines...

Apparently there is s a lot more going on off the coast of Coco Cay than you might think. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/33090/how-american-and-allied-submarines-regularly-fight-to-the-death-off-the-bahamas That’s right, there is a US Navy shallows/mine field training area just to the west of a Coco Cay. I had known about the much larger deep water training area to the south but the minefield was news to me. The facility that support these areas, AUTEC, was used to support the US response to Hurricane Dorian. How cool would it be to see a sub surfa

@twangster St. John. I paid attention to your live blog.

After a quick check of Google Maps, you are correct! Tamp never even occurred to me, I was thinking Europe somewhere.

I was this as B-Roll on a video about the virus and cruises and I couldn’t figure out the port. Any ideas?

Is this so you can get back before the new policy goes into effect or because of your original flight being canceled? (I assume you were on the Allure TA)

I would argue that they are doing this for public relations reasons. If they thought it was a major concern they would just cancel the sailings like they did in China but they are not. Now it could reach that point but we are not there yet.

Quick question. Why didn't you just stay on the train and get off at Circular Quay? I was under the impression (admittedly with only minimal research) that all trains from the airport went to Circular Quay.

I see they only had the fake trolleys out today.

I am not saying that it is impossible, just unlikely. In the picture, that you posted, you can easily see the area that has been dredged for cruise ships and the east extension of the pier used to tie off large vessels. Your proposed bridge would go right through that area. Why go to the expense to do that and then block it off. Here are some pictures from the last 10 years or so that show that space being used for ships. Sometimes two ships, sometimes large ships. And ships are only getting bigger. I just don't see the local government allowing a bridge there tha
