Heading Home

One of my favorite things about flying is the view. There is nothing that can compare to what we see thousands of feet above the earth.  Yesterday I wasn't looking down-- but up. Flying 1000 feet below JAL 777 across the Pacific was very cool.


Today I depart Narita, tomorrow I land at SeaTac.  0730 arrival, and then I'll head to Renton Airport for another day of Fly It Forward.  Adrenaline and smiling faces will keep me going as we count down the New Year-- and register our women at Renton Airport.

Happy New Year!


~Enjoy the Journey

    A thought that comes through my mind when flying. When you climb about 5,280+ feet, you are then at least 1 mile from EVERYONE on Earth. When sitting alone at home, there is usually someone maybe 100 feet or less next door to you. Get in a plane, and you are away from it all!

    That must have been incredible, to look up and see that! Very cool. I so wish I could join you at Renton again, but it's not to be this time. Next time for sure!

    Tom, you know... I think that's the best part of flying. Especially in your plane. I still have a couple hundred people outside my door. :)
    Happy New Year!

    Thank you Linda! I completely understand. I think we have too many women. Can you ever have too many women? :)
    Happy New Year!
