Ugh, that is no fun. I am blessed to have an accountant for a father.

Jealous....


Finally got ours done and we are getting a tiny amount back, but it beats paying....

We had an amazing day yesterday. I had the chance to go on an Enthusiasts Day organized by Monarch Airline. It started with a flight from Manchester to Chester (about 50 miles apart). We got to Chester ahead of schedule and as there were only about 50 people involved in this adventure, we got to visit the flight deck in groups of four. Then it was onto a short bus ride to the administration building for Airbus where we had tea, coffee and biscuits followed by a presentation about Airbus in the UK. Next we were divided into groups and our group got to visit the factory where they are building the wings for the A320s and A330. I was amazed that most of the work is done manually. After we had a good idea of the work going on there, we went for lunch. Airbus put on a great buffet lunch. After lunch, we split in our groups again. This time round, we got to see the brand new factory for the A350, which is still very much in the developing stages. Everything there is a lot more automated. They are building the first two sets of wings at the moment. Unfortunately we did not get to have a look at the wing plant for the A380, but we did see an A380 wing being transported down the river on a barge. Once we finished our tours, we went back to the plane for the flight back to Manchester. Once we got there, we cleared the arrivals formalities and then were transferred to the Monarch hangar. I was mildly interested in this and Graham was not bothered about this at all. In the end, this turned out to be our favourite part of the day. They had three planes in there at various stages of maintenance and we were able to get into the hold, see things exposed that you would normally never seen and generally were able to walk around, under and inside the planes and learned a lot about the maintenance aspect. It was truly amazing. We were totally exhausted when we got home, but the experience was out of this world.

They're all dangerous, they leave me dreaming of far off exotic places that have to be put on the bucket list, that list is getting long!

That is what I have been doing too, making a list of places I want to visit, these darn catalogs are making it too easy to put things on it.

 

[dgbg100106]

I haven't been to WDW yet in 2012!!!

Darn work got in the way!! I just got home from Fort Drum; in a week I'm heading to Fort Campbell for 2-1/2 weeks!! (I'm starting to feel like I'M in the Army!!! )

After that, things should slow down some. I'm hoping for a quick WDW trip in May.

Cool... I will let you know.

Good morning everyone.....

Hope everyone has a beautiful day today.

I know most of you remember that I lost My uncle and then David's uncle in the fall, and now my last living uncle has passed.

All I have left is my Dad, and my Aunt (Dad's Sister) and David has his Mom and his Aunt (mom's sister).

I know that David and I have jokingly called our trip in the upcoming fall, "our staying in the will trip" but this just makes me feel so urgent to go see our family.

Just a reminder that life is short and you should make every attempt to show your family and friends just how much they mean to you....


hugs to my Dis family....
