Flying, Gratitude and Joy

Day 107 – A Day of Gratitude and Joy – Jet Noise!

Greg Romano

We both smiled as we relished what is often called “The Sound of Freedom”!

Day 12 – A Year of Gratitude and Joy – Air Travel

Judy Romano

The sheer realization that all the people around me will soon be soaring through the air  -- or just came from there --  reminds me that nowhere is out of reach.

Air Shows

Judy Romano

It’s not just about the scream of jet engines and heart-stopping, low-level flybys that draws me to a show. It’s the buzz of excitement about the other planes ... that offer up close and personal glimpses of aviation power and flexibility.

For the Love of Travel

Judy Romano

The age old question lovers ask each other popped into my head, “Why do you love me?” If travel could ask me that, how would I answer?

The Contrails Are Back!

Judy Romano

Contrails, after all, are visual reminders of how easy it is to travel the world and experience new and exciting things.

Up, Up and Away to the TWA Hotel

Judy Romano

The hotel is the original TWA Terminal which has been painstakingly restored. The Eero Saarinen design still sends a weary traveler’s mind into the sky with its wing styling. The lobby soars and welcomes in a way that seems to have gone the way of days gone by.

A is for Aviation

Greg Romano

As a lifelong aviation nut, I became a private pilot in 1992. Since then, I’ve witnessed the shift to glass cockpits, GPS, and electronic flight bags, but missed the “glory days’ of personal air transportation in the 70s and early 80s. It’s much safer now, but incredibly expensive.

The History of Luggage

Greg Romano

My dream trip still involves us going to the airport with nothing but the clothes on our backs, our passports, and an American Express card, pointing to the departure board and saying, “let’s go THERE!” We’ll get what we need at the other end.
