we're in kansas

We took off this morning from Great Falls, Montana and flew 3 hours to Cheyanne, Wyoming. Then we had lunch there, and decided to go a little further to Hutchinson, Kansas, near Witchita. We know someone nearby so hope to stay with them for the night. We had a really good first leg of the flight to Cheyanne, but the leg to Hutchinson was very turbulent. Now we are just hangin out at the small airport, talking to the locals. They like their steak. Good to be on solid ground, VMC is working 100%....(vmc is the plane's ident, Victor Mike Charlie). Tomorrow we are thinking of flying to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. It's getting warmer....

Stay tuned...

Nothing else to do here in the middle of nowhere (and town is far far away)...so here are some pictures of our first leg from Abbotsford to Great Falls Montana...

delayed in great falls

We woke up to a gorgeous morning in Great Falls, but the weather is not looking too good in Billings and beyond to Lincoln Nebraska, where we were hoping to fly to today. So we are staying another night, and hope to fly out tomorrow. Hope to get some pictures up soon....keep checking back....and leave comments, we love them!!

We Are STILL Grounded

No, we haven't left yet. Weather here in Abbotsford has gotten better but we are hoping to fly to Montana as our first leg and their nice weather turned bad. So we aren't counting on leaving this week, but we're hoping hoping hoping hoping to go very soon. We thought we might be able to go in the beginning of the week so we got all packed up and got the plane all gassed up also, so we feel more prepared again, which is good.

Think sunny thoughts for us everybody, we need them!!

postponed....for now

We have decided to postpone the trip for now. We still plan on going, but we are going to wait until Spring, when the weather will get a little warmer and hopefully become a little clearer. Our visa's run out in 2 weeks so by the time we get those back again, perhaps we'll feel better about going. It was the weather's fault and we are disappointed. But we know now that it will take at least another month until we can take off. Keep in touch...
