- Dayton, Ohio - what an interesting city, and the downtown area was attractive and welcoming.
- United Airlines - the friendliest airline I've flown.
- Downtown Doubletree in Dayton - very comfortable, very accommodating.
- The people of Dayton - in an entire week, I never encountered one rude or unfriendly person.
- Sinclair Community College - Dayton Campus - beautiful facility, well managed, staff who seem to really love their work.
- Room service!!!
- The little grocery store in the block next to the Doubletree on Third Street.
- ESI International, the company that provided the training I attended, and the instructor - Ron Whitehead (with war stories as interesting as the training itself).
- Navy pilots, two of whom attended the ESI training.
- The other folks in the class, from Cincinnati Insurance, Marathon Oil, GSA in San Diego, and Battelle.
Boy, am I GLAD to be home! Thanks, Mom & Dad, for the ride to and from the airport to save me from the usually awful shuttle parking experience! I'm excited to start implementing some of the things I learned but most of all I'm excited to be back with my wonderful husband and my regular old life...
