YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD FOR THE BEACH!!!

When Maria and I went to the beach the other day (the day I got the parking ticket .....which has subsequently been "forgiven" so I don't have to pay it!!! Now I can go enjoy Hollywood beach again!!!), I saw this cute photo opportunity. Seems like you're never too old to go to the beach. Sweet!

HOW TO FIND YOUR SPOT AT THE BEACH

How often have you gone to the beach, went for a long walk, and then returned only to look for your "parking spot" where you left all your belongings for the next half hour? Well, it seems this beach goer found the perfect "marking apparatus" for their stuff. Easy to see, easy to carry, one of a kind, and I don't think anyone would walk off with this. Kinda funny, eh???? ;-)

WAVES AT HOBO BEACH

During my last trip, my crew and I took a ride over to Hobo Beach in Aguadilla, PR (BQN). One part of the beach has some incredible waves and compressed air shooting water/waves out 100 feet or so. It's really pretty amazing to watch the waves shoot out so far. In this photo, I'm approximately 50 feet above the water, and you can see how high it's going at this point. Beautiful!!!

NIAGARA FALLS

The other day while flying out of Newark (EWR), to Toronto (YYZ), we had to fly at 10,000 feet to make an on-time departure due to thunderstorms in the area. Even though we didn't see any of the storms, air traffic control let us go at the lower level to get us out. It was a nice little sight seeing trip, and here's a shot of Niagara Falls I was able to take when we flew past Buffalo, NY. One of these days I'm going to have to go look at this beautiful waterfall up close. Incredible, isn't it?

MONSTER AIRBUS 380 IN TORONTO

During my last trip, I finally got to see the world's largest passenger airplane, the Airbus 380. This plane is HUGE as you can see from the planes parked beside it. Only a few airports in the USA are large enough to handle this monster. Of course, an OIL nation is one of the first to be flying this behemoth. I think it'd be hard to fly a plane that takes one to two hours to board as the lavatory's would need to be cleaned before you even left the gate. ;-) , on the ramp in Toronto (YYZ).
