"Been There, Done That, Got My Passport Stamped!" mdfloyd322's Profile

I've been very blessed in my life. I have been able to travel extensively on business and have taken many interesting vacations and missions trips as well.

So far I've been on all the continents except Antarctica, including 55 countries, and 46 of the United States.

I've lived in several states, in addition to many short-term assignments around the USA and world.

I have worked in various aspects of the travel industry most of my life, with a detour into computer consulting.

Big news! I got approved for the Trusted Traveler program allowing quicker entries into the US. It took several months and a trip to LA to make it happen. The first trip through Miami using it was a nightmare, even worse than a regular trip through Miami. I recontacted Homeland Security who swore it was fixed and when I went through Houston later, everything worked great (except UA lost my bag for a day). It's a total pain to get but worth it when it works.

2012 Plans:
Panama in Mar-Apr, US: Colorado and Utah Rockies I got my PADI Rescue Diver certification at Homestead Crater in Midway, UT in April.

I have a Buddy Dive live-aboard dive trip planned to Ecuador and the Galapagos later in the year. Palm Springs, FL this fall.
