we have a lot of ladies who live in Maine in the Summer and Tampa Fl. @ MacDill Air Force Base Fam Camp in the winter...we live in NC for now...will be going Full time next April...our son is in the Air Force and he is stationed at Mt. Home AFB in Idaho...we just love to travel...the only place I have not taken my machines is when we spent 2 months with him when he was stationed in Germany...I did carry other things that I could do without a machine...and since we flew with Uncle Sams air line I could take anything on board that I wanted too...its fun to fly the good old C-17s. And cheap for its one of the perks of being retired Air Force ourselves....
