THE AIRFLIGHT EXPERIENCE

 

TRAVELING

As June begins, I'm still visiting with my son and his family in Hoboken New Jersey after a three week stay in San Antonio Texas last April with my other four grandchildren.   This photo was taken at the TWA Hotel the day I arrived in New York early in May!

I Remember Abu Dhabi!

Back in 2016, I flew to Abu Dhabi to meet with my sister who was living there at the time. Spent one great month making the scene there and at Dubai, where I visited every tourist attraction and several other places not seen by the general public. All in all, a wonderful experience! 

The End of the Holidays?

 

"LEAVING ON A JET PLANE" as sung by Frank Sinatra.

Frank Sinatra released SINATRA & COMPANY on the Reprise label in 1971. The album features several bossa nova styled songs recorded for a planned second album with Antonio Carlos Jobim but were used instead as part of this new production. Here, Sinatra sings several hits from new composers such as John Denver, who penned "Leaving On A Jet Plane", a nice tune which was incidentally used briefly on the1996 film THE ROCK where Sean Connery sings to it while taking a shower!

You can listen to the song here:

The song is one of several where Frank makes references to flying and air travel.

It's Nice To Go Trav'ling!

Frank Sinatra - It’s Nice to Go Trav’ling

After close to four months away on an extended holiday trip, this Sinatra classic song comes to mind!
