It was a great run for a quarter century. From Warsaw, Moscow, Kiev, Budapest, Bucharest, Prague, to Amman, Cairo, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Athens and Bombay to Capetown, Accra, and Dakar. Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam (downtown and The Hague), Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Zurich, Pisa, Lyon, Nice, Venice, Rome, Milan, Barcelona, Malaga and Lisbon. London (downtown and Crawley), Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Shannon, and Dublin. Can’t, will never, forget São Paulo. From hikes in the desert to mountain tops, romantic sidewalk cafes to street food, I’d establish my favorite haunt and something would change. Wars, 9/11, recessions, incompetent CEO’s and now a pandemic. Still more fun than anyone should have in a lifetime. Lately I’ve hit Central America and now it’s “just” Anchorage, Keflavik and Southern European layovers.

Still fun but the future is the 330. I bid it and got a training bypass so I’ll finish up on the ER just before it’s gone. Seems I just couldn’t leave.
