A Pilot's Travel Blog


My First Blog

Being in the airline business has its perks. Flying "space available is one of them." Being a twenty four, seven operation is not. After eleven years and working on many days that I would rather have been off, I am finally at a point where I can have a little bit of say over my schedule. We have celebrated Christmas on days other than Christmas, just so we could be together as a family. It is better than being at sea, which was the case when I was in the Navy, spending birthdays, anniversaries, Christmases, and even my son's birth at sea.

I decided to start a blog after a recent visit to Madrid. Somewhere I have been wanting to go for a long time. Being limited to flying in North America, any overseas trips I take have to be while I am off or on vacation. Madrid made such an impression on me that I started writing about it while I was there. Hence, my "impressions of Madrid." It will be my first official blog, though I will back track and write about my trip to Buenos Aires last spring, another major "check in the block," if you wish. So, if for no other reason than to indulge myself, here is for your enjoyment or rejection; "A Pilot's Travel Blog."
