My Country! 
1995-2000 
2000-2007 
I used to have a list on here… of all the places I wanted to go and of all the things I wanted to see before my traveling days were over. It was a fairly long list. But I've come to the conclusion that life is not about checking things off a list. Life is about being open to the possibility that destiny is often around the corner, and if one has one's head in the clouds planning the next big adventure, one might very well miss what destiny has to offer...so I deleted my list with the belief that life gets to be lived one day at a time with no expectations about the future. Rather than plan out my life one country at a time, I decided to let the Universe do the driving.

Postcards & Letters From France
Europe » France » Île-de-France » Paris
MaryAnne spent her senior year of college in Paris. Her host mother is a famous french actress named Patrica who lives very close to the Eiffel Tower in a four story home. Needless to say, MaryAnne wasn't anxious to return to the United States. She spent nearly every day walking by the Eiffel Tower and had a free pass to the Louve for the year she was there. Lucky girl! The last time I was in Paris in the late 1990's, I was on a business trip for Fila International. I spent most of my time in conference rooms and touring [View Full Entry]

Celebrities, Famous People & Very Special Passengers
North America » United States
I'm often asked if I ever have famous people on my planes. Those who know me well know that celebrity status alone does little to impress me. While I have flown with many celebrities and many more very special passengers, there have been a few recently that I'd like to tell you about. Roy Clark Country music legend Roy Clark, famous for hosting the variety show Hee Haw in the early 1970's was a passenger on my plane last week, along with his entourage of band members and PR representatives. They had just finished a show in Jackpot, Nevada and were [View Full Entry]

17 Hours In Yakima
North America » United States » Washington » Yakima
Had a layover in Yakima, Washington a few days ago so took MaryAnne along for the ride. She's been staying with me since the accident in Nebraska totaled her jeep and sidelined her Sacramento plans, so a short trip away to clear her head was a good idea. As you might guess, there's not much to do in Yakima when the weather is cold, but I had a really fun crew and we discovered happy hour in the bar attached to our hotel. After several rounds of pool (boys against the girls, two worst v. the two best, good and bad [View Full Entry]

Invasion of the Pinkos
North America » United States » California » Berkeley
"The hottest places in hell are reserved for those, who in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality." John F. Kennedy, June 24, 1963 Showdown in Berkeley To summarize, in January of 2007 the United States Marine Corps Recruiting Division opened an Officer Selection office at 64 Shattuck Square in Berkeley, California. In September (eight months later) a group calling itself code pink finally noticed the Marines and began protesting in front of the Recruiting Center using homemade signs and banners. Their numbers were few, usually only a handful of pro [View Full Entry]

San Francisco Bay
North America » United States » California » San Francisco
We were one of the early flights out of the city the morning these shots were taken. The flight deck received special permission for a rare 'Bay Tour' at 3,000 feet. We flew out over the bay, around Alcatraz and over the Golden Gate Bridge before heading south along the coast for Ontario. I imagine it was quite a sight to see an airliner flying at 3,000 feet over Alcatraz! [View Full Entry]

Travel Lessons Learned Too Late
Central America Caribbean » Nicaragua
Lesson #1 Don´t Drink The Water! (p.s. The ocean is water.) MaryAnne and I had a blast surfing in San Juan del Sur with Larry, our friend from the Scuba Shack. The waves at Remanso Beach were awesome and the water was perfect but I wiped out one too many times in the surf and... well, let´s just say I won´t need a Neti pot for months, but I could really use some Immodium AD. SWALLOWING THE OCEAN IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Lesson #2 Don´t Be A Stinky Gringo! While this doesn´t necessarily apply to me... okay sometimes it does, but it´s [View Full Entry]

Here are a few shots from the last several months...enjoy! And by the way, though it may have taken me 47 days, I've finally added a few pictures from the Costa Rica trip. One of these days, when I get around to it, I'll have to look into why I'm such a procrastinator. [View Full Entry]
