Boeing 717
UP, UP & Away !!


On August 19th, Steve and I were performing what would have normally been an uneventful day at JBS getting ready for school to start.  I was instant messaging our friends in Florida when Jimm said "I wish you guys could be here for our 25th anniversary".  I hollered to Steve in the other room and said, "How would  you like to fly to Orlando this afternoon?"  He thought I was kidding but I was really serious.  I looked up flight times and prices while he thought about it and still thought I was kidding  He said, "Fine, if you want to go let's go!"  I made the reservations, told Steve to shut his computers down and off to Orlando we went that same day.  We came home, packed our computer equipment and headed to Mitchell Field to catch a 6:55 PM flight  with arrival in Orlando at 10:34.  So off we went, stopping at the Cone on the way.  We still got to the airport too early and had a lot of time to kill.   


I had my first experience with the x-ray scanners at the airport.  I just know my physique is going to end up on You Tube under the heading, "Don't let this happen to you".  


It was an uneventful flight as Frank came to the airport to pick us up.  We were both exhausted but glad we were able to be there for the special day and too meet many new faces who we will hook up with again when we return SOON.
