Today's Question(s):


When was the last time you took a vacation?
Several years ago.


Have you ever left the country
? Once I crossed the border into Mexico down on the Rio Grande river when on vacation near Big Bend national park here in Texas, does that count?...lol.


What was your best vacation? I would probably say a vacation I took to the mountains in New Mexico back in 1997 with some of my single friends. We had a blast!


Extra Credit Question:

What is your preferred method of travel ?
Plane?
Train?
Cruise?
Car?
Motorcycle?
Foot?


Bonus Question:

On an Airplane do you prefer...
Aisle or window seat? Aisle....there's more leg room.
Front or middle or back of the plane? Middle, over or near the wing
Do you mind sitting in the emergency exit seat? Don't mind at all, if we make an emergency landing I'll be the first one out!...lol.

Have you ever been scared or afraid during a flight? Yes! One time I was flying back to Dallas-Fort Worth from Missouri and about 20 minutes before landing we flew into a terrible thunderstorm. It was a very rough landing and I wasn't sure we would make it. I remembered the Delta Airlines crash that occurred at DFW airport a few years prior to my flight and our weather conditions on final approach were very similar. As a result, I knew wind shear was a very real possibilty (wind shear from a violent thunderstorm caused the Delta flight to crash just before landing at DFW). It was very scary, but we made it!

Inquiring Minds Question:

Has anyone in your family ever embarrassed you? Yes!


If so what have they done? I had a great aunt that used to like to pull practical jokes in public and I also have an uncle that enjoys doing the same thing...lol.


Just for Fun:

What is a family tradition you’ll pass on to your kids?
I don't have kids.
