so does the story about buffing your sneakers or gluing your "soles"[ pun intended ] make our posts any less informative than yours, Palms?
We all have interests that may diverge from yours--I've never served in the Armed Forces nor have I flown a plane . (I did help my dad rebuild his 1950 Ercoupe in our basement--not bad for a a little girl)
I think many of us share lots of bits and pieces of travel escapades! If some people don't want to contribute beyond a question about loads, whatever--who's gonna shame them into it? I really appreciate your stories and sometimes I get tired of writing (this is NOT my major travel blog website) about eh same trip. I tailor my commetns to different audiences, and frankly, I mostyl have no clue about much of what you write becasue I can't always relate but I do try.
It's hard to encourage others to contribute more--so just keep writing what you see and do and hope you inspire someone else to get on board and tell us all more--like you do! Thanks
