Am on my last little bit of free time this trip, so of course I am blogging. Unfortunately for me, I am on a 40 kbs dial-up connection and I think Seminole signals across the mountains would get the message across more quickly than this. This may in fact be my shortest blog ever. But probably not.
Had the ultra cool experience of taking the Helijet over to Victoria (click on the link, you can see the Sikorsky helicopter I flew on) this morning, and back again tonight. My cousin is a helicopter pilot, but this was my first time in one. A lifetime of traditional flying makes you completely unprepared for the alarming drop out of the sky that is landing in a helicopter. Well worth the price of admission! Will have to pester my cousin for more free rides in the future!
Since it has taken me three eons to write this much, I am done. Not sure whether my brain or the modem is more sluggish, but between the two of them I am writing at the speed of a very tired turtle. Past the half way point of the trip now, and just trying hard not to think too much about my babies back home…
How cool. I have never been on a helicopter either and am rather worried I would get airsick to quickly. But, to ride to Victoria from Vancouver would be really cool.
Anna – knowing you are missing your kidlets, but sure they are doing ok with Beloved, who I am sure is missing you terribly!
COOL I’ve never been on one either and don’t plan to go anytime soon. BUT I’m sure the world is beautiful from helicopter.
As Anna said I sure things at home are fine and will be till you get back. Things only go wronf when your there. Trust me they are having pizza and beer (in baby bottles of course) as we speak…just kidding. At least I didn’t they they were having dancing toddlers in. 😉
Hugs Sleep well good friend.
Exactly why I shiver just thinking about business trips. I’m just so not ready to not see her for a few days in a row.
Thank goodness they’re keeping you busy, eh?
What a cool ride!
Oh I did that ride a few years back, so cool! Even cooler was this helicopter ride (so overpriced, so touristy, but just couldn’t pass it up) we did over Niagara Falls once.
Sure your boys are just fine and think of all teh hugs you’ll get on your return!!
Enjoy!
Jen
hey, sounds like you’re haveing some great days there, despite the slight homesickness…
and enjoy your retro days into internet prehistory… it will be a great story to tell the kids some day… i tried explaining to lynn what a telex machine was last weekend, without all too much success…
keep well 😉
I was in a helicopter once when I was about 10 years old. My uncle was the pilot. It was as thrilling as it was terrifying. Great experience though. Hey, I could add that to my 101 thing about me, which brings me to about 5.
