I am grounded for now (time to take a breather)--probably flew about 80000 actual miles this year but with various bonuses etc made it well over 100K. For pleasure in 1999 (perhaps with some business thrown in) I will likely be going to the Cameroon in west Africa to help out my friends with an environmental project (volunteer basis) and Europe (United Kingdom and Finland) to visit family. Have 2 free tickets to Hawaii/Caribbean so will have to use/book? those before November. Will take my family along for all but Cameroon trip.

My brother has invited me to the Middle East to spend some time with him (he says he will pay for our tickets) but we have to find the time to go.

I have a companion ticket for any fare ticket purchased anywhere in world Air Canada flies so am open to suggestions from my flying friends as to where I might tack on a trip with them.

Other than that, I will be trying to tack on pleasure to trips in North America including Vancouver Island, Ottawa/Toronto, Arizona, California and possibly back to Switzerland again in May. Might also be a trip to Costa Rica thrown in there for good measure.
