Todd is going to be 40 next month (May 30th), and I have been thinking of a once in a lifetime gift for him. My step mom mentioned something with Todd racing a race car. I found out that there are a few tracks around our area, but you have to have your own car, and it is EXPENSIVE!
The next, I decided I wanted to do a scenic flight around our area. I called several places, and found one that is perfect for us. To be honest, I think I am more excited about it than Todd will be when he finds out what we are doing on the 31st of May.
The day after Todd’s birthday, I am taking the day off from work and we are going to go to lunch and then we will drive up to Cleveland to Burke Lakefront Airport. This is a small airport close to the Cleveland Airport. We will be flying over Cleveland and other areas for one hour with a personal pilot on a 4 person Cessna plane. I was expecting it to be several hundred dollars for the two of us, but not so!
Todd is going to be flying the plane with the pilot, and the price is $62.95! For me, because I will be a passenger (and official photo-taker!), I am riding for less than $30! After all the regulatory fees and taxes, the cost is a few dollars less than $100!
HOW PERFECT IS THAT?!?
Not only will it be an experience of a lifetime, it is affordable!
We had been talking about going to Cancun or someplace tropical when we hit the big milestone of 30 and 40 years of age (as we both are this year,) but $100 is much more affordable. We are going to lunch at his favorite place that gives a LOT of food for a LOW cost, Benihanah’s! We will get the lunch boat for $9.75/person. I just hope I don’t ralph it all up on the plane.
I’m so excited…can you tell?
Now, how am I going to keep this a secret for over a month without bursting at the seams?
