    Re: PLEDGING FLIGHTS *** A Stair Climb Challenge

    i'm always glad to see the updates from y'all!

    i'm posting for myjack {my dh, in case you didn't know}
    as of this morning, he finished MONT BLANC. he started that mountain back on april 28, 2009. 1990 it took some time but he finally made it!

    i guess his next adventure will be KILIMANJARO.

          Oooohhhhh Kaaaaaayyyyy.....
          SOOOOOOOOO....
          As it has been way too long since my last hop into here to post,
          naturally, and please do NOT follow these footsteps,
          I figured after finishing Everest and making goal
          I could rest on my laurels...

          BAD MOVE. But I'm back... will advise when next destination in flights is chosen~~~~~

                Hi Guys!!! Back again. Feels like I've been away for months, yet it's only a couple of weeks!

                Gonna shimmy up the Canary Wharf Tower again, while deciding on a more "serious" (pant pant!) climb...

                Congrats to Jack for planting his flag atop Mont Blanc!!!

                Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475

                  i'm so glad to have you back, sally!

                  did you know or remember that you already climbed [for a second time] seattle space needle? it's in the set with canary wharf tower.

                  i did a search of how many steps/flights to the moon. it was a mega bunch! too many to comprehend.

                  jack says "thank you".

                    Glad to be back too Jimmie!!
                    I'm glad you keep track! I forget which of the smaller climbs I've done twice! Maybe I should complete the set for the second time...
                    I really need to get back on track. Last few weeks have been too sedentary, with too much wining and dining! Things are beginning to feel tight... and I haven't the courage to see what the scales says. Time to drop the wine for a while, that's for sure!

                              Last third of Snowdon to go, now at 4650/7120 - hope to be done within the week, the view is great, hope the summit's not covered in cloud!! - pushing onwards and upwards
                              Thinking of next challenge...... might stick with the mountain theme

                              Happy flights to everyone!
