Default Visiting U.S. of A.

Dear Bill,

You may want to schedule your flight to USA into Orlando,
Florida. That would accomodate your aims and ambitions.
Go for it.

From there, flying into or out of Orlando International
Airport, go to the fine gliderport
Seminole-Lake Gliderport at Clermont Florida.

Seminole-Lake Gliderport is not far from Orlando;

In fact, from the Seminole-Lake Gliderport aloft from
aerotow alttitude of 2000ft ,

you can see Orlando,

or climb a bit higher off tow and thence see more;



Gliding about from there you have to avoid flying
over DisneyWorld etc in the Orlando area. You shall
be that close to Orlando metro area and DisneyWorld.


Your hosts shall be Knut and Ingrid Kjenslie. Scandia
born. Americans.
They shall love to be hospitable to you.

To see info a bit about it, check the website SoarFL.com


Knut and Ingrid run a fine commercial operation and
sort of club setting, with swimming pool there, and
bunkplace, that will give you all you seek, and there
you shall have the splendid scent of orange blossoms
in citrus country to remember. There are many beautiful
hawks there, and also Bald Eagles to fly with. Keep
your eyes peeled for snakes and fireants.

Seminole-Lake Gliderport hosts the annual National
Seniors Championships. Yes, you must be at least
52 or 55 to qualify as contestant,,,yet many are your
own age or more.

Enjoy the hospitality and experience of Seminole-Lake
Soaring.

Wow, nice place Seminole-Lake Gliderport. Convenient
to Interstate highways for a drive to Georgia.

Then you could drive up to Dublin Ga.

Not much happnin' in so far as gliding at Dublin these
days. There once was a club at Statesboro, Ga. but
it is no more for many years as far as I know. Tho
I always hope for a revival there with someone buying
and using a SGS-2-33 or a Blanik and providing a towplane.
Yet, that has not happened I think.

Dublin, Tho it is sho nuff good Southern Georgia
Land Culture. Doncha Know, you would be more likely
to talk your way aboard someones Cherokee Six or Cessna
150 or 172 and enjoy that experience. Call the local
airport at Dublin, then fly an airplane there. You
shall enjoy.

Dublin Ga - It is a nice
place to inhale the South, in USA. But don't be in
no hurry there. Take yo' time.

Talk (Tawk) real slow. No hurry at all.


A New York Minute is unknown there, and not welcome.


Generations make good foundations for good relationships
and kinships.

Tho they shall welcome you as well, when they hear
you are from their distant heritage.

Tell'em, one and all.

There, hospitality is fine.

Accents are Southern.

You may even hear some seemingly Old English phrases
or brogue there from the Ol Timers if yall seek 'em
out,

DonchaKnow?

Seek out the ol' time restaurants, or just go to Police
Stations and ask where to go and where to eat. The
Police or Deputy Sheriffs know.

Have fun.
Be of good heart.

God bless you,

Dancing on clouds,

Keep it up!
