Friday, August 13 KTVC – KACB – KGKJ – KMMU (Part of the lost trip report.) After our incredibly, almost-theme-park-like stay in Traverse City, we needed to return to New York City, where Nell would meet us. We had a small cooler of salmon to drop off at TW’s, definitely worth driving to the airport [...]
Saturday, July 31 2009 KJAC – KRAP – KFSD – KMSN Part of the Lost Trip Report. This was one of my favorite days of flying. It wasn’t easy, but it was an adventure and the whole family saw a lot of country that we would never see otherwise.

Monday, March 30 I had spent the last few days packing and re-packing the plane so that all the little bits and pieces I needed were on board, but out of the way. I had the boys’ clothes packed along with mine. We had delayed our departure for a day so that we were sure [...]
Well, I made it all the way back across. The boys had a birthday party that they wanted to make it to, so Nell had to bring them home on JetBlue. She loved the flight east and was sad that she wouldn’t get to fly west. I said in a couple years we would be [...]
Welcome to Kansas! Made it halfway, but high winds and impending storms make it unlikely I will make it home tonight. I how to take off at 8am. I am in a Denny’s without any handguns. My brain is a little slow to turn overvthis morning, but I watched Dexter play with Weezer for a [...]
