Father and Son facinations about travel....

alleganey airlines, i have been a passenger f ther flight from charleston wv to washington DC, it was a single engine propeler driven aircraft, this is my first and last time i would ride a prop plane, its cruising altitute is less than 10,000 feet, and its all noise in the cabin. the take off of such small aircraft is very diffeent from jet powered where in the prop rpm is full, then they release the brakes on take off run.


ive travel down to mexico in 1967 with my father and mama odeng , just driving all the way south from los angeles and we are all set to step omn mexican soil, upon reaching 30 km deep into mexico we are apprehended by police motorcycle police, who was yelling "alto alto alto" as we translated it to our philippine spanish it means high high high........ but instead in mexican spanish it is an order to stop......
later i had a haircut in mexico besides the police staton

"grand central New York" this is where we go while in New Jersey to catch greyhound bus to buffulo new york, via syracuce, albany, itaca on wards to ontario , canada. i did this trip three times, at the middle of the night, one time we have a felow passenger who had a heart attack in the bus
of all the united states cities that i visited in my lifetime, washington DC is the most beutiful, historical and memorable city i have been. in 1980's my parents toured DC in detail, sometimes on foot .ive been to the white house, jefferson memorial, lincoln memorial, smitsonian, pentagon, the mall, montecello, potomac. fords theather blair house, the mint, potomac cruise.
In highschool, while on my summer break i sometimes have a short visit there alone to my old friends in downtown washington."abet eusebio" well nothing much to see wachington after so many visit there, but we just past the time in a pub where i learn to know more of Michaelob beer
While in the United States, one of the cities we will visit is Miami Florida, during those times, I was very much afraid about the Bermuda Triangle, and i know that 45 miles from the coast of Florida is the beginning of the Bermuda triangle, while we were at Charleston South Carolina, I cry and cry and beg my dad to by pass Miami because of the Bermuda triangle, after a heated discusion we by pass it and we kiss our flight and hotel cost in that city....
In 1972, my father and i seriously plan to make our 2nd round the world tour, as we were finalizing for cities to tour, we both like to set foot in Greenland, we even ask our travel agent, Ms Paraluman to make arragement for Greenland and Russia, it did not materializes bec, in order to go to Greenland one must take aKeflavik< href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo2brjS-iyTpZrzTx0xFaNtPZUuAiTN8DWGz5EDNgk94JpBQLMBkaJTvRWIvFg7r7w-daLDzMZKkdPcO6OL6kOtlOn7M3CElEX8MiEQ4c950CO0hjM-P4L0a0gQmwPRK5evgMPnX2ryXmM/s1600-h/greenland3.jpg">
