I use my passport quite often (especially at the U.S. border), and came across this page recently when I was at the Passport Office to renew it.
October 1, 2004, is when I first met David face-to-face. We were in some online forums together and until that point our communication was online and on the phone. I mentioned in September that I was interested in flying with him — I never knew anyone who owned his own airplane — and suggested that we should meet.
David picked me up at JFK, quite nervously. I told him later that my first impression of him was that he was "a little gruff". It’s about 2.5 hours from JFK to Scranton, Pennsylvania, so my goal for the whole car ride was to make him feel more at ease. By the look of things when we left JFK, I had my work cut out for me.
We got engaged shortly after, so I would venture to say that first weekend was a resounding success.
