I just got back last week from a vacation trip that I think

would be an awesome destination for any RV-10 owner.

My wife and I, along with Ed Hayden and Vic Syracuse and

their wives, went to the Bahamas for a few days.

It's really easy to fly over there, and it was some

fantastic scenery.  Highly recommended if you ever get

the urge to go to a nice tropical destination.



Here is the write-up:

Tim,

     Great writeup on your trip!  this is also something I hope to do in the future and your info will be remarkably helpful not to mention taking some of the anxiety out of planning the trip.

  

 Thanks,

 Marcus

It was absolutely MUCH easier to do than I would have imagined

even with what you read on the "how to's" for getting in and

out of the Bahamas.  You literally can just have your passport

and sticker in hand, call up FSS and file a flight plan, and

once it's filed just activate it and use VFR flight following

and go.  When you get there it's really no worry getting in.

And leaving isn't really a big deal either.  You file the plan,

advise customs...call customs with your ETA, and then just fly.

Once you get there, it's some paperwork and a little

hassle...more than in the Bahamas....but it'll be well under

an hour and you'll be on your way somewhere else.



The only thing that everyone will have to do that we didn't,

is that within a month you'll have to log on electronically

to EAPIS and file your stuff in advance.



Probably the worst paper/electronic mess there is, is navigating

the DTOPS and EAPIS websites....getting registered and set up

with a customs sticker is a real pain in the butt, as their

site and process isn't intuitive at all.  I was going to

do the voluntary EAPIS filing but I just gave up because it

wasn't something I could accomplish on the spur of the moment.

For the U.S. Fed paperwork and items, plan ahead.  For the

rest there isn't much worry.

now you've done it...



I don't have the cabin top attached yet, but I think I'll just skip  

that part, hang the engine and prop, put some gas in this thing and  

start flying.
