When I was six, my grandparents gave me a suitcase (blue with big, hot pink flowers). I kept it packed and stored in the closet, just in case there was an adventure and I needed to be ready. It took another 34 years, but I'm finally on the adventure. A published author, editor, married to a helicopter pilot, life is fun, crazy, adventurous, challenging ~ but never dull.

Flight Safety
Every year, My Favorite has annual recurrency training. He has to pass ground school—classroom tests—and a couple different check rides. There are different ways to do this. The company can bring various trainers in to teach the classes and give the rides. Or they can send pilots to Flight Safety, an internationally respected ground and sim (simulator) school that can train just about any pilot on just about any aircraft from anywhere in the world.
This year, the company chose the Flight Safety route. Which mean West Palm Beach, Florida. Which is really not a bad way to spend a week, I gotta say.
