Flying the flag

This is the time of year when my thoughts - as much as anyone else's - turn to holidays.

For me holidays mean one place only.

America.

We have had some lovely holidays in other parts of the world - we loved Brugges, we loved Paris, we liked Austria and we were fascinated in Israel, but America always feels like going home.

we have a huge affinity for the country - from the beauty of the coastlines, the quaintness of New England, the majesty of the National Parks and the buzz of the theme parks.

 

Of all of the parts of the States, Florida is still the major draw for us. Last year we had an amazing holiday there and this year we plan on repeating it.

 

This page was our trip home last year on our Virgin flight. We had the chance as we were on the tarmac, to wander into the cockpit and meet the pilots. They were so nice and friendly and even told us to grab a seat for a while.  It was kind of nice to know who were flying us safely home.

Hopefully this year will be equally as good.

Today I am thankful for

• the wonderful country of America. Maybe one day we will get our dream and live there for at least part of the year
• pilots - they literally do hold your life in their hands
