MARTIN

DEC. 27, 2011

LAX-JFK

WHY ON THIS FLIGHT: I commute regularly between Los Angeles and New York. I work in the aerospace industry in California and produce theater in NYC (Broadway and off-Broadway)

FUN FACT: I travel all over the world for solar eclipses and marathons. In Nov 2012 I will be going to Port Douglas, Australia (near Cairns in Queensland) for a marathon, that will start with an eclipse.

BUCKET LIST: Win a Tony Award for producing a musical.

GUILTY PLEASURE: I NEVER answer the phone if it is interrupting something I consider more important.

*MY TWO CENTS*: Martin is a dichotomy...the aerospace industry and the entertainment industry. I wouldn't automatically associate those two things with each other. I love the fact that he has traveled all over to view eclipses. I am surprised when I can remember to set my alarm to see an eclipse. It will always amaze me, the diversity of the people that I would never have gotten get to meet, if I were not writing this blog!

WHY ON THIS FLIGHT: To meet with our extended family from Winnipeg where we are all embarking on a 7-day Eastern Caribbean Cruise together. HOORAY!

FUN FACT: Have run a half-marathon (which wasn’t very fun at the time!), Love to bake, bad at cooking and am a Martha Stewart junkie.

BUCKET LIST: *TOO MANY TO LIST, BUT HERE’S A FEW: write a Children’s book, visit Thailand, to save the world from gum disease (I am a Dental Hygienist)

GUILTY PLEASURE: chocolate after breakfast (shhhh…don’t tell my kids!), spending a whole day reading….nerdy but true!!

*MY TWO CENTS: This family was so cool, the crew was talking to them as we waited for our aircraft. Susanne reminds me of my soon to be sister-in-law, Catherine…whom I adore. One of the son’s wants to be a pilot when he grows up, of course, I am all for it! They were a fun family and I could hang out on the cruise with them…no problem! Spending a whole day reading is NOT nerdy, in fact, these days most people seem to consider it a luxury.
