I am told that the ridge by Dillingham Airfield (Hawaii) is very

Thanks to all for the advice. *Opinions are like rear ends, everybody has
one. *I would definitely take a two or three week jaunt to some place good
for the opportunity to ridge soar as much as possible. *Just wish that
Central Florida Convergence would pop up once occasionally.

On the positive side, we have had a few good days of thermal activity at
Seminole Lake GP. *Managed a few climbs to over 5K the other day in a
1-34. *I have a lot to learn but an enjoying it thoroughly.

Right, but you asked! LOL

So FWIW, here's some more opinion..........It doesn't matter where you
go! Just go! If it's easiest to go to the closest place, go there.
If time and money don't matter, go somewhere that catches your fancy
(France or Hawaii). As long as you do something to expand your
horizons, you will become a better pilot! On top of that, a "soaring
road trip" is going to be a blast on any number of levels!

Right you are Cookie. Hawaii sounds good. France not so hot. There are two types of people in this world I can't stand: 1, Those intolerant of others due to their race, religion or nationality and.....2, the French.
