What a great blog today!!! You have managed to apply your life experiences to your life yesterday, today and tomorrow to live a balanced, in control life. Now your readers get to learn through your experiences. I won’t ever be flying a plane but I will be working on making my final destination. Thank you, thank you, thank you. D
You are welcome, D! I have been trying to figure out how to weave all those one-of-a-kind experiences into messages anyone could appreciate and learn from. No sense having these experiences if they only benefit me, right?
Now I’ve just got to get flying again… perhaps that will be MY next adventure.
=-)
I really enjoyed this one Lisis! A lot for me in there….THANKS!!
Hi Lisis,
I love this post. How cool is it that you can fly? That is so awesome! Jacob (my husband) and I have been toying with the idea of taking lessons some point in the future.
I think your 6 lessons really do apply to life. I love the “trust your instruments” one because in my life I have found that when I ignored by gut instinct and went with my head, things did not work out as planned.
I know tomorrow you head to CR…bon voyage!!!
@ Istina: I’m glad you liked it, and I’m sure you remember that particular flight (the one in the photos).
@ Nadia: Thanks! You and Jacob should definitely take a lesson or two, at least, just to enjoy the miracle of flight (with you at the controls). Hey, Jacob is my son’s middle name, so I like your hubbie already.
Tomorrow is the big day, and I’m so excited because I haven’t been back to CR since Spring 2006. I bet I won’t even recognize the monkeys this time! Let’s see what kind of adventures I can get myself into while I’m down there so I will have plenty to write about on Mondays.

Hi Lisis,
I have the day off and we did our gravatars! So my picture should show up with this comment!
I am all for having adventures…I am the same way when we travel. I love to explore new places and meet interesting people. Life is an adventure!
HI, NADIA!!!! How exciting!!! I can “see” you now! I’m glad you got your gravatar; now it’s like you are sitting here in my living room with me.
Yay!!!
Yay!
Now on to Twitter! As you can see, your advice is being put to use!
Have a great evening!
Lisis, this was beautiful!
Who knew you flew planes? Boy, you and Jeff really are big time adventurers. That’s so cool.
Excellent job applying the flying lessons to life. I never would have saw the connection. (as if I actually know something about flying – I don’t) I especially like point 6. Your wisdom and talent are really shining through on this one, Lisis.
Shhh… it’s a secret! No one is supposed to know I fly planes! It makes the passengers nervous when a woman is Pilot in Command.
I’m so glad you liked it, and #6 is my favorite too. You just never know…
I knew that you were going to fly….I’ve known since jr. high school! I am so happy that you were able to achieve your goal set waaay back then. Not suprised, however. Not suprised at all.
Going back home tomorrow, eh? How cool is that. I hope you have a fantastic time. Please contact me when you get back to the states…we have so much to catch up on. I am ecstatic that I found my friend again.
Well, Fabian, so am I! Starting this blog has helped me make all sorts of connections with new friends and some not so new (notice I didn’t call you old!). Time for the pilgrimage home, but I will be in touch when I get back.
Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by my “new home.” I hope to see you again.

This was really interesting. Although I’ve never learnt to fly I feel like I’ve been in a graveyard spiral more than once!

We all have, Julian! Hey, you know I’m looking forward to you guestposting on the Spirit of Adventure series, right? You’ve got to tell us all about Kilimajaro.
Glad you liked it… and so nice to see you back here.

Hi Lisis
I’m a little late to this party, but I wanted you to know that you inspired me to write a piece about my adventures in the sky. I hope you’ll read it. I’ve admired your writing style for some time and now have a better understanding of why. You’re fearless! Thank you for the inspiration. I loved looking back on that time. I’d love to read more flight stories from you. I bet you have more than a few but at least one would do. Yay for women in aviation!

Hey, Brenda! I just read your story and LOVED it! You totally took ME back down memory lane too! I have so many incredible memories from my flying days. I may have to find my old log book and dig up a story or two to share on this blog. Yay for women in aviation, indeed!!
