We have been fortunate enough to travel a good part of this globe and not once can remember being thankful the airport was a few miles closer to my destination. A guest mentioned the other night 'with that kind of money we could pave all the streets, put in proper water, sewage drainage and have money to build another Airstrip much like the one in town, then everybody wins'...... I kind of like that idea too.


One thing to note - the $100 Million (if it ever manifests) is/would be a private investment in a commercial venture. Saying "we" could use this money for something else isn't quite right because nobody is just going to give it to us.
