Flying the Valley

     My favorite local spot to purchase and enjoy cigars is CITY TOBACCO COMPANY.  During a recent visit to one of their many cigar samplings, I was entered into a drawing for a ride in a classic Bi-plane.  Lo and behold, the call came through.  A week later, I was airborne.  Although a frequent flier and world-traveler, there was nothing quite like the experience of flying high over my homeland, the wind in my face and being able to stick my camera over the side and take all the photos I wanted.  Heck, I'm sure I could have even lit up a cigar and brought a bottle of water on board.  Try that with the major airlines nowadays.    A special thanks to my pilot, Joe, for providing me a truly unique and quite awesome experience.

   Afterwards, once back on the ground, it was time to celebrate with a nice Cuban cigar and a great round of golf with my friend, Bobb.   All in all, an excellent day.
