Hey Marc, glad to hear you made it home in one piece.

That is one heck of a vacation. If I did all of that, I would be too worn out to go back to work. LOL

Hey, FYI, I only live about 3 miles from the Hill Air Force Museum. Had I known, my family and I could have met up with you there. Darn!!!

Thanks, Teena!

Dale -- i wish i had known you lived so close. We were headed north and i saw the sign, and decided it might make a nice rest stop. The boys and i really enjoyed it. Lots of cool planes!
