Mark, believe it or not I was sitting in the plane eating macadamias as we flew past Hawaii. I thought of you and waved.

the rest of you I waved.... but you didn't wave back!!! *grin*

as we flew down over the US we had brilliant clear skies, and fantastic views. We saw the Rockies, and one of the Great Lakes, (so I waved to all the Canadians and blew a kiss to a certain big spud carrying Mick)*grin*....

excues my pathetic grip of US geography... if I get places in completely the wrong order.... either it is my confusion or the pilot was taking the scenic route....

then we flew over Colorado and Salt Lake City.... strange sitting at so many thousand feet looking at place names on a map and thinking... so and so from Mudcat lives somewhere near here..... It was a very nice sensation... to know that you were all down there somewhere... just in case we crashed.. so I could have somewhere to sleep......

I had a fantastic time with the Mudcatters I did get to meet... someday I hope to meet more of you for real.....

I had a wonderful time... but now it's nice to be back...
