Real thrill again to have been on the flight with you both. That would be great, Tonya — I’ve sent you my email separately. Real thrill again to have been on the flight with you both.

We've forwarded it to our family. I caught a couple of pictures of you in my shots, and I'd like to pass them on to you. Burt and I enjoyed your story and pix of the Sunday zepplin cruise.

We watched it go over to Marin (not sure about the Gate) and then it surprised us by coming back. Magical! So it was an extra treat to watch your videos and photos with her. We especially liked the shadows and the diver, didn't realize what was out there.

One thing I noticed is they seem to be able to maneuver better than blimps... the one circling over Hollywood was turned extremely well....

This really was a great write-up on your experience - heck, almost even as though you were a journalist, chronicling the experience! (sorry - couldn't resist that one) Seriously though - it's clear you had a great time, and gave me the motive to put a zeppelin ride into my future plans. They're doing tours up here in the SF Bay area as well. Again too - happy anniversary! Danny,

Happy Anniversary!
