And yet another bucket list item ticked off yesterday as I spent several hours at the Lowell Observatory Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona where, among other things the (now dwarf) planet Pluto was discovered in 1930. Special thanks to Jon who introduced me to the incredible Clark…

As I was so close after visiting Meteor Crater I just had to go visit Winslow, Arizona and lurk around on the corner! Now I can’t get the song out of my head! 😂🎵🎼

Bucket list item done! I’ve wanted to visit Meteor Crater for as long as I can remember. What a place! If you are ever nearby take an hour or two to visit. It’s amazing! Meteor Crater

Hello Kansas City 😄

Spent a very interesting couple of hours at MedAire in Phoenix, AZ yesterday being shown their superb facilities. Nearly all major airlines use their Medlink facility if we have a medical issue on board a flight. We can call them up via satellite telephone and be connected to a…
