Cruise has been a good time. EnsaΓ±ada tomorrow. Long Beach and then Portland on Sunday.
Sierra and I are taking my parents on a birthday π cruise to Mexico from Long Beach β±οΈ. Mar 23-29.
It'll be their first time leaving the USA!
It's wild that it'll be their first as last month, Sierra I went to a new country for both of us together, Dominican Republic, and that was my 51st country and Sierra's 12th!
I'm so happy to be gifting them this first voyage for them!

After 11 years and 5 months since my private, I earned my IFR rating for my private pilot license πͺ½!!!
I have been flying VFR flights since I earned my private pilot license on 10/18/2014. It's been amazing!
However, I had an opportunity I couldn't pass up to continue my education and begin working on my IFR rating almost ten years later on 10/1/2024.
It was a lot of work to get back into the mode to study after all these years. I'm happy to say, all the work finally paid off!
I did it!
Thanks to everyone who supported me along the way!!!
Now into my Commercial and then my Commercial Flight Instructor licenses!
Here's to fifteen years and six months of legally getting high!
Now to finally take a moment and breathe!
If you're curious about learning to fly πͺ½, message me, or head to and talk to one of the amazing pilots we have there ready to teach you what you need to know!

Last of two nights here in Nicaragua, currently enjoying Laguna de Apoyo, a Crater Like lake with amazingly warm fresh water. What an epic journey it has been!

Our beautiful tour in Nicaragua so far!

If all goes well, tomorrow afternoon I fly out to Nicaragua, I will be a certified IFR rated pilot!
Since October '24, I started up flight training again to earn my IFR rating (I'll be able to fly through the clouds) and it hasn't been easy!
It took longer than I expected, however, my instructor and I think that I've crammed enough knowledge into my brain π§ for me to complete this tomorrow morningβlet's hope that's the case!
I began flying on August 30th, 2010. Earned my Private Pilot πͺ½ license at on October 18th, 2014. I've flown hundreds of folks these last ten years before beginning my IFR training, and it has been amazing!
The time has come for me to get this next rating and continue to climb up high towards my flying πͺ½ goals!
Please send a lot of positive energy in the direction of the Troutdale Airport tomorrow morning!
Wish me luck π€πΌπ!
