The day we flew into Oslo it had snowed 15 inches! In 1952 the Winter Olympics was held in Olso. The mountain where the Luge contest was held still has the trail on it, and is open for the public toboggan down it!So the crew and I rented toboggans to give it a try!
The first race down the mountain took us about 15 minutes. Once at the bottom you take a train back up to the top of the trail.By the end of the day my competitive side had me beating everyone down the mountain in eight minutes. It is always fun when you can spend the day acting like a kid again!

It was a beautiful fall day in Amsterdam.

A lot of people spent the day at a popular park in the center of town. They enjoyed eating food, drinking adult beverages, and smoking who knows what!Amsterdam has the most bicyclists than any other city I've been to. It is the primary mode of transportation.

When you cross the street not only are you looking for cars and trains, but you most look and listen for bikes and their bells. Its no joke. We almost had a flight attendant taken out on our walk home from dinner.

Punta Cana!

2008-03-28T21:09:00.009-05:00

Punta Cana is a beautiful place to vacation in the Dominican Republic.

I was there for work. But I had plenty of time to enjoy the ocean. Its very windy there so I decided to give wind surfing a try. It was fun!

The resort also had a trail through the rain forest. This is a picture of a lagoon in the rain forest that I went swimming in. It was amazing.

GUAM

Yes, Continental does fly all the way to Guam! We actually have a pilot base there. A lot of people from Asia vacation there. Its like Hawaii was 20 years ago.
Here is the view from my room at the Hilton Guam.Guam is known for snorkeling because there is coral reef everywhere. At the hotel you can't go into the ocean without beach shoes on because of all the coral. So I rented snorkel equipment and spent the afternoon in the water. I kept getting chased by a little mean fish that looked just like Nemo!
