A drastic change in the writing, but still an excellent chapter..
This segment seems to have been written by ROMANTIC1 and one other writer. Portions of it lack Romantic 1's thorough copy editing and research/ experience. The FAA does not issue aircraft ID's like ME2. Still the piece was well done and enjoyable. Thank you for your continued excellent writing. Cowboy100.
Don't get me wrong, I still liked it. But, Jim has been the pillar for the Road Trip and Crystal series. I personally enjoy his mindset, how he works through things and his attitude with the happenings in his unexpected life.
Claire as a focus in this chapter took me out of what has worked in both of these series. Perhaps if others are the focus of other chapters, I would warm up to it. But, as a stand alone after 48 states and 22 Crystals, it did not work for me.

This chapter was a departure from your previous style of everything revolving around Jim. But the change was a welcome one. It keeps the series fresh.
I agree that this chapter has gone off track a little but, it is still relevant to the overal l story as it refers back to Claire's past life. I think I can see where this is going between Jim and Joe. Won't say any more in case I am wrong... VBG
This all just makes the story more interesting....
Please, I'm not that crass. I was referring to the Blue-Footed Booby that is a popular sight in the Galapagos. Unlike many other species that are found only in the Galapagos, BFBs are also found in the surrounding region.
I'm a pilot, but I don't play one on TV.
To cowboy: who says JM1 and ME2 are registered in the United States? Actually, its not a prefix for any other country in the world that I know of, but BOO HOO. It's fiction, give the man a little creative license. Besides, who is to say that a man with his pull couldn't buy an island, declare his own country and then register it to whatever he pleases? trivia. For US registrations the tail number starts with N, but you never annunciate the N when talking to ATC. The allowed combinations can end with O-2 letters max so ME2, JM1 or even JIM wouldn't work, but again,
BOO HOO. For fun, next time you are at an airport, write down some "N numbers" and then look for N number lookup on the web and you can pull up aircraft info including the model, build info and the owner.
other misc,
Did I miss it or did Jim compliment Jill for what she did for Claire?
Referring to how Jim autographs female fans, does he market a t-shirt with JIMs MELLONs printed on the front in 2 semi circles? ;-|
thank you for the journey
A great way to keep going with a little change of pace and style...just keep entertaining us...THANKS!
