Crossing the Atlantic

By cluster ballooning?? I'll be following his travel, no me physically but on the internet.

Trappe's Trans-Atlantic Cluster Balloon Flight is GO! Go to airfield 9PM, when rain passes!

The airplane is a much better safer faster and much more comfortable method to cross the Atlantic. An airplane will land within a few feet of the designated spot on the planet and drop you off at a nice building full of food and beer. Unless it is a Muslim country, then you got on the wrong airplane.

I am sure there are many cool places to land that are Muslim, but if they don't have beer I don't want to go.

Years ago we had an employee that had to make a business trip to Utah. I convinced him that Utah was a totally dry state. He packed a bottle of whiskey. He said as he walked off the airplane and saw several bars at the airport he was cursing my name. A year later he did admit it was funny.
