Travel Writer Hitching Rides to All 50 States

Not bad!

Amber is a great “right seat passenger”.

Flew at 36,000 feet, almost 400 Kts Ground Speed, (360 TAS) and we had to go ILS into home airport because of the smoke from the fires!

Missed the later closure of the airport because of a prankster who was carrying fake grenades in his suitcase!!! See article here!

(oh… and I learnt all of Pierre’s secrets!!! [:D] )

And she did wonder… where the red handle was!!!

Snicker![:O]

Forgot to add the track from flight aware: here

At 2H 26min, we are beaten by Allegiant Air by only 6 minutes!!!

Thanks Pierre and Giuseppe! I enjoyed flying with both of you! Giuseppe - If winter wasn’t around the corner I would have been tempted to stick around Montana for a while. It’s soo beautiful there.

I’m currently in Seattle and heading to Portland next. After that I think California makes the most sense but who knows?

11 states down, and soo many more to go. Did that reporter contact either of you yet?

I am following you on your blog!
Good luck!
Reporter has not called.

Hi Amber.

Coincidentally, my son (a senior in college in the LA area) sent me a link to your blog last night. I thought…I think know some folks that have given you a lift. Sure enough, it was you. He is an avid couch-surfer (both as a host and a traveler), so I suspect he came across your blog in that respect.

I am based in Austin, Texas and would be glad to give you a ride sometime when you get this direction. Right now, I don’t have any trips out west planned, unfortunately.

I’ll send you an email with my contact info.

Heard from Amber. She is especially looking for pilots in New Mexico or Arizona over the next couple of weeks.

Amber.
If you come around Duluth, MN, I will be happy to give you a ride. (God knows why anyone would volunteer to come here between October and June) but summers are great, and short.

I normally stay around the Chicago, Minneapolis, Northern MN area.

Thanks! I haven’t been running into many pilots form MN… and yes, I think I will postpone checking off MN until it warms up a bit. I grew up in Rochester, NY before I escaped to Florida. Lake effect snow was intense!

Do I have your e-mail address so I can get in touch with you when the time gets closer?

Have a great holiday!!

Amber

Amber,

An earlier post suggested you are looking for a lift in the Arizona area. I live in Phoenix. Can you be a bit more specific what you need around here?

Email is flycirrus at aol dot com

Sure…I’ll e-mail you.
