What was the best flying vacation you have had?
Wow, beautiful airplane. It wasn't quite coast to coast, but 3 years ago I flew solo from Dayton to San Diego in a Seneca. 14 hours (8 back) out with 4 fuel stops, hard headwind and IFR 3/4 of the way. Last fuel stop was Phoenix, and at 14K my heater breaker popped. My breath looked like a horse in winter, and my hands were numb when I landed. It was a beautiful site to see San Diego come out of the darkness over the last mountain.

Best vacation was island hopping in the Bahamas for 2 weeks: Bimini, Walkers, Long...drank mucho Kalik.
