Flight To Heaven by Capt Dale Black, book review

I would definitely recommend reading Flight to Heaven by Capt Dale Black. I thought it was a quick read and a very interesting story. Capt Dale Black survived a plane crash. He went on to become a commercial pilot. His description of heaven is amazing. His attitude and determination to overcome his injuries was inspiring.

Flipboard for iPad

Lately, I've been doing a lot of socializing on facebook and twitter and as I travel, I find that this has become really important to me. I have found that it's my way of staying in touch with people I love and care about that I just can't call (since my schedule might have me flying during normal talk hours) or actually go see in person (because I don't have that many days off). I even helped my Mom sign up on facebook so she now can check my status and keep up with what I'm doing too. (I love my Mom)
It's also been a great way for me to meet new people and make new friends. I love this aspect too.
Sooo..in my goal to lighten the load of my ever so heavy bags, I bought myself an ipad last year so that I can see the screen better than on my iphone (eyes get tired and vision gets blurry with age and also with working alot).
I have spent a lot of time looking at apps for the ipad and I have to say that one of my very favorite ones is: Flipboard.
If you have an iPad and you don't have Flipboard, I think you should try it out.
Flipboard allows you to input your facebook and twitter accounts and your google reader and then it places it in a magazine type format on the screen. You can then just flip through the pages like reading a magazine.
I love this for reading the blogs that I follow. The pictures are so beautiful!
Also, it allows you to add many many other "magazines" to follow in the Contents of your Flipboard. You can choose from many categories: travel, entertainment, food.
Try it out and let me know what you think and don't forget to add my blog to your google reader so my posts will show up in your Flipboard. ;)

Here we go again..This time I am really going to write write write write write

Does anyone have questions or topics that you would like me to write about? Love to hear from you...
Thanks
Sending out much Love and Hugs,

Merry Christmas Cheer

Being a flight attendant has some wonderful perks. One is that I get to travel all over and see beautiful places which is extra special at Christmas when trees are up and lights are out. This Christmas tree is at Sea World Orlando this year as you travel to the North Pole to see Santa. ;) I just think it's beautiful. I will try to add more decorations as I travel this month. Thanks for stopping by to check out my blog,

Blog info

I really want to set up my blog this year and post more for 2010 on a regular basis. I've noticed that most of the blogs that I follow are on Blogger. Someone today recommended tumblr. Has anyone tried that? and what do you think about the comparison of these two? thanks so much for any feedback.
also, I changed my template today..do you like this one better?

Back on the blog again

OK well I got a little lax with my blog and stopped posting. Mostly in the past, I had posted news articles of interest. After reading Sara's great blog at www.theflyingpinto.com, I have been inspired to get back in here and blog away. yay! :)
So it may take some time before I learn how to make it pretty and add neat layout, etc., but I have decided to at least start writing again.
Hope you all have a great weekend!
