The Washington Post
The Challenge: 50 States in 50 Days!
FIRST FRIDAY!
Well, a FIRST from the past on a Friday—my own version of a “First Friday.”
I was first to fly to all 50 States—at least in the contest put on by United Airlines in 1984. I came in first! I completed the contest challenge in 13 days of practically non-stop flying.
Here’s the article in the Washington Post on June 30, 1985.

How many of these gestures do you know?
http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/29/travel/experts-guide-to-italian-hand-gestures/index.html
To my dear friends with Italian ancestry (or anyone, for that matter):
Are any of these Italian hand gestures familiar to you? Second-nature? Instinctive? American? Universal? I’m curious. What do you think? Anyone?
Top: Temper tantrum tried to avoid long customs lines arriving in Italy from Greece. Result: abject failure. Cost this guy 4 extra hours!
Bottom: Temper tantrum exercised in a Madrid luxury car dealer-ship. Result: they fixed his car immediately! Saved at least a day!

Tired of being your old mundane, boring self?
The Three R(E)’s of Travel and then Some!
(click to enlarge)
Why be your old mundane, everyday boring, bored, tired self in your travels and adventures? Just kidding—sort of! You get what I mean.
That is, travel is supposed to be a way to RE-invigorate, RE-juvinate, RE-fresh, RE-set, and RE-invent ourselves, isn’t it?
When you go away on a vacation or adventure you all would like to be and do more than just the typical ordinary things according to your typical ordinary ways, and so on, wouldn’t you?
I mean, travel is a means to becoming a RE-newed person—more of the person we would like ourselves to be, don’t you think?
