We kayaked and flew up in small 4 seaters (Skagway Air- "We can can can!") and then slept out on the back deck of the Marine Highway ship and watched the mountains and glaciers on the way back. Thanks for triggering that memory- and have fun with the childrenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-75700495663583930342007-06-23T14:45:00.000-04:002007-06-23T14:45:00.000-04:00we always say a little prayer as a family that we ...we always say a little prayer as a family that we will have safe travels and return home in one piece. One particular trip, we left home in such a frazzled hurry, that we forgot the prayer. I remembered about 30 minutes down the road, so we pulled into the nearest rest stop and said it.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07685594002410374196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-11078476572279660192007-06-23T10:55:00.000-04:002007-06-23T10:55:00.000-04:00Hi CarmiMichele sent me this morning.I like the id...Hi Carmi<BR/>Michele sent me this morning.<BR/><BR/>I like the idea of infusing the everyday with ritual.

I really appreciate your style because I relate to it with mine.<BR/><BR/>You really get to spend some time at "Fancy" hotels, man! The wide, flat screen in the bathroom says one thing, "big time".<BR/><BR/>Your comments about touching the plane you're about to board reminded me of what I sometimes do when I'm boarding a plane. I'll touch the outside with my hand and say a quick prayer to God for protection during this flight. I ask him to spread his protection around it.Chad Oneil Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678399436449542326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-65457134479340514492007-06-22T21:29:00.000-04:002007-06-22T21:29:00.000-04:00Oops!

As we were flying above the Isle of Man, over the intercom from the cabin came the Captain's voice... "If anyone is sitting on the left hand side of the plane, there's a wonderful clear view of the Isle of Man and will Pat Scott of the Happy Wanderers please come to the cockpit!" <BR/><BR/>Well, talk about being summoned to the principal's office! That's what it felt like. Anyway, he said when I got there (long journey from the rear of the plane), "We'd like you to sit in here for the landing in Manchester!". I said, "Can I get my camera?" He said, "Hurry!" <BR/><BR/>So off I went almost running back to my seat and grabbed my little camera and then when I got back to the cockpit, I was duly strapped into the seat behind him and headphones put on my head. He said, "You'll hear everything between the tower in Manchester and this plane but don't you say anything!"<BR/><BR/>What an experience, Carmi! One that will probably never happen again. I won't ever forget it.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10037242205616251439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-13546189267761119922007-06-22T19:37:00.000-04:002007-06-22T19:37:00.000-04:00Ahhh...amazing!

I not only place my hand on the car, plane, boat or what have you. I talk to it, as if in some funny way it was a beast that I could bond with. Maybe this is some throw back in men to days when we rode living creatures who became as much a part of us as our extremities. Or maybe I am crazy.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
