I got this crazy idea to fly. I always wanted to fly. Dreamed of just putting my arms out and soaring through the sky.
I actually did have a long series of dreams about this fantasy.
I finally got my private license and flew happily for many years.
Not unusual though, because as a boy I would sit on the edge of Echelon Field and watch
the small planes come and go like so many birds.
I lived in a small town in Somerdale, New Jersey. Echelon was a bike ride away. the Aircraft were all magic birds to me, and so I'd sit and dream of being in one, and leaving my bike along the grass strip.
Jet Blue brought the magic back. I saw the ad on Yahoo. Flat price for an unlimited 30 day pass. September 8th 2009 thru October 8th 2009.
I looked at the Jet Blue route map. There were a lot of places I had not been, and some I had been to just for business. I am retired, and I cant work due to a Stroke. However, I can still fly.
I got right to work mapping out where I'd like to go. I called some friends and told them to look for my blog. I called some people I know in cities I booked. I looked up all the local TV stations in each city and I plan on sending them an e-mail.
"Hey do you want an exclusive on an old guy who is going to go to 20 cities on Jet Blue Airways within 30 days??" I asked. "If so, here's my schedule. Meet me at the airport and I'll get your photo and share my story."
I have asked friends from all over to track me on this blog. All postings are open.
I will post details of each day's progress. I will post photos of the places I visit and the people I see. Best of all I will be sharing my story with all who wish to hear it. I will tell anyone how my spirit has been set free by the truth. I will introduce them to my friend Jesus who by His grace gave me a new life.
There are about 20 [twenty] cities I listed. I may get to do more if Jet Blue can help with bookings that were closed. I'll ride on the wing or luggage if they can get me on. I could not yet get Santo Domingo or Santiago, but I'll try while on the way.
Thanks to all those who are supporting me. Pleas remember that is important to post comments or ideas on this site. I will check every time I land.
Job 39:26 "Does the hawk take
flight by your wisdom and spread his wings toward the south?
