Where was that picture taken. It looks like our Sentani airport (DJJ) with some of the most uncomfortable seats on the planet!

...stewardesses...used to be very hot. Now not so much anymore.

Over the years I have done a lot of travelling by air. All over the world. Lived in Northern Ireland for three years, working with a US company there. I've travelled Europe, the Far East, Middle East, as well as the US and Canada.

In 1984 my wife and I were on our way to Egypt. We were in the boarding area for our flight on Alia, the Royal Jordanian airline. I was reading a newspaper and looked up, startled when someone said my name. I was looking at a gorgeous blond stewardess, without recognition, when she said 'you don't recognized me do you! And she was right. Then she said her name and I knew who she was...she had been a secretary in our personnel depart in Ireland.

After we boarded, she took very good care of us...champagne, whatever else we wanted from the bar, etc. She was with us from Chicago to Vienna, where the crew changed. The four hour flight from Vienna to Ammon gave us time to sober up!

Oh, no book for me .. I like to people watch; they’re fascinating. And, if I’m lucky, some bright and engaging child will sit near me and we can do crossword puzzles or color pictures (I come prepared).

What could be more fun than that ..??

I like traffic lights, but only when they’re green.

First time there was with a friend from the Denver area. I was driving, and we were coming up from Lyons. When the Estes valley opened up before us and I saw the mountains in RMNP I literally gasp.

My friend said "YEP, I was expecting that from you."

I heard a story one time, that someone was at the airport and Della Reese, Tess from “Touched By An Angel”, was at the same gate, waiting for the plane. She was doing a crossword and was somewhat loudly, asking the questions, to anyone within earshot. She had the entire gate area involved with the puzzle.
