My Lifes Travels
(I wish to see ALL of the US before going to other countries)

Greensboro, NC Born there. Lived next to a Pro hockey player and his 2 kids.
Pell City, AL Lived on a lake when I was 8 and 9. No other kids in the area, so the 3 brothers learned to play together for the first time.
Durham, NC We came back to NC for 2 years. I got really into football. College football was IT in Durham.
Jacksonville, FL Mom got a new job when I was 12 and Dad was doing charter flying. I was a year and a half ahead of all the other kids in school and never needed a sweater in the winter.  
Columbia, SC Had to go somewhere different for college. Every other kid was going to either UF or FSU and I wanted to strike out on my own.
New York, NY My girlfriend lived on Park Ave & roommate from Connecticut (Kent) took me for the summer to see a Giants football game and the city
Boston, MA Kent took me to see the city and play some hoops in New Hampshire
Ridgefield, CT Kent then showed me around the suburbs of his small NE hometown.
Boulder, CO My Aunt Dorothy's parents let me stay in their house for a month. WOW! I spent every dollar I had skiing - I got in 21 days.  I invited all my friends to come and stay as long as they could.
Lake Tahoe, CA Another Aunt had a ski house that I used for a week with 3 other couples. We broke their railing, tore up our rent a car and had one of those trips where everything went wrong. It was still a blast!
Pittsburgh, PA My first job out of college took me to corporate headquarters for initiation.
Easton, MD My college sweetheart had a horse ranch there I got to visit.
Baltimore, MD My first real job was at the BWI airport, but I lived in DC and commuted. Bought a Subaru 4WD mini SUV to do it in. I didn't see the sun there for 2 months in a row. Really started spending time alone here.
Asheville, NC Westinghouse offered a move to another facility with a smaller workforce and a more down to earth setting. I spent every weekend skiing. Met a college girl and snuck into the gym at UNCA to play basketball. Didn't enjoy the work there.
Raleigh, NC My third and final move to make a fit at Westinghouse. I found a town I liked, a job I liked, but a manager that didn't like me. I had arthroscopic surgery and got really treated bad during my recovery. It was time to go.

Georgetown, Bahamas Flew a wealthy lady and her crew to her own private island  equipped with landing strip, ATVs and Jetskis. Ate fresh fish from the Ocean every day.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica Flew a group of students over as a lesson and a vacation. Rented motorcycles and drove on golf courses, near waterfalls and all over the island. 
Montego Bay, Jamaica Spent another week in a different city. Almost got stuck there by the Cuban government. Ran out of money and fuel, had to bribe the airport workers to steal some gas so we could make it home. Got in a Hail storm above Miami and almost lost the plane. It was dented pretty bad. Haven't been back since!
Gainesville, FL Spent a year and a half working on my Masters in Aerospace Engineering. I thought it would be a great combination of engineering and flying. I had always dreamed of being an astronaut.
Neptune Beach, FL Jetskiing has really made me fond of the ocean. I came back for family, work and the water.
