I want to give my wife a big “Thank You.” She got me a good piece of luggage made by Samsonite. You have no idea how much easier it was navigating to my proper gate in the airports. In Dulles Airport going to the next terminal was nerve wracking. My shuttle was not even moving and the clock in front said my plane was boarding already. Finally I was in the right terminal and then I found out my gate was all the way on the other end. Being able to easily navigate my luggage made my “quick walk” to the gate easier. Needless to say I made my flight but barely. I even discovered on my return flight I could also put my day bag on top of it making my journey easier. This trip to New Orleans was the first time I used it. My baggage rolled easily. A big thank you.

Air travel is amazing. As I write this, there are thousands of airplanes in the air, all over the world, cruising at 35,000 feet and other altitudes, landing and taking off, taxiing, boarding and discharging passengers at countless airports. Flight Aware (www.flightaware.com) is one website that tracks these flights. It has a lot of information about each flight, and you can watch a visual graphic of each plane as it travels along its flight path between airports. Check it out ! I was amazed at how many planes are up there, day and night, all over the globe. I had no idea. As they travel, they are passed between various flight control centers, like Houston, or Atlanta. The air traffic controllers guide the pilots through the skies and have an extremely important job, coordinating all the different flights. It really is amazing how many airplanes are up there !
This is my first guest blog on Siggy’s Blurbs. Thank-you, Siggy, for inviting me to contribute.
