The Honeymoon
Anyone can book a honeymoon on a beach somewhere, but how do you know that it will equally appeal to both people? We decided to do what we love doing together the most (ok, maybe the second most) and that's flying. Eli has been a pilot for more than ten years, and Bren has a keen interest in becoming a pilot. We love to be up in the air together, so ok, it will be a flying honeymoon. But now the big question, where to? Eli has always wanted to fly the transatlantic route to Europe. It's a challenging trip that demands a great deal of preparation and know how, but brings unique challenges and rewards. Ultimatley, it's going to be an amazing adventure. We're glad you are going to share it with us!
Congratulations to both of you on your accomplishment. Can you say now that you are the first ones to fly from Vancouver to Europe in a Cessna?

Congratulations on a very successful and dream adventure, braving the North Atlantic Ocean for a touchdown in Europe! You must have a photo show when you return to the West Coast of North America. Now, enjoy some flying in Europe to justify the purchase of that Mode S Transponder!
