Riding in style on Delta 126 from JFK to MAD

I was born in California and besides living there for 20 years, I have resided in Nevada, Washington State, and Indiana.
I had wanted to travel the world as far back as I can remember and was really interested in other cultures as a youth. We were not wealthy at all so I knew that a job with an airline was the way to go!
I have worked in the airline industry since 1992, which has been the only reason I can travel like I do.
The first time I flew to South Africa, it cost me $11 total.
The greatest thing about being with the airlines, besides the discounts, is the fact that you can often be upgraded. Three of the last four times I have flown to Europe were in business class.

I have been married for 13 years and we have a 11 year old daughter.
Our daughter has already been to 35 US States, Canada, Mexico, France, Spain, Greece, Hungary, Germany, Cayman Islands, and Bahamas.

We travel with spontaneity! Many times we have just shown up at the airport and taken the next available flight anywhere, with no hotel booked, no plans at all. We've only been burned once, having to sleep in Geneva airport--not a bad place to sleep if you had to. We also hit the ground running! Sleep is for the airplane ride. I also travel alone quite often because I get a week off per month and my wife only gets the typical American holiday of 2 weeks per year. I am lucky to be married to my best friend who is trusting and caring.

I am looking around VT for tips and interested in meeting new people.
If we have something in common or you live in or have visited a place that interests me, I may add you to my friends list. Don't be alarmed, I am just trying to meet fellow travellers.

***Future Travel Plans***
We are just back from Budapest
The next trip is Istanbul, in May 2012
In October 2012, we plan to visit Armenia.

Also, I only need 7 more states to make all 50.
I may try to get them this year. Been trying but just can't seem to get these last 7!
They are: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, Delaware, Arkansas, and Maine.

I am not active on VT anymore because I am now on Travelbuddy.

Getting there is half the fun!

Lucky you getting cheap airfares, that is nearly our biggest cost when travelling anywhere from Australia.
