    What is your "Hometown"?

    Grew up in La Palma, Ca.
    Lived in Hawaii most summers when young (4-12 years old). Then told parents I wanted to live there full time. That last about 5 years. Went to Punahou and Kam schools. Graduated back on the mainland.
    Got married and bought a home in Yorba Linda.
    Then in 07 had a business opportunity that brought me to Nevada.
    I tell people I'm from where it suits me best for business. Most of the time I say OC. But, when I work with people from Hawaii, I'm from Waipahu.

    St louis county until I was 3, my father was a country boy and we got the heck out of town...

    I moved to the north burbs of Chicago when I was almost 20 for a job and did ALOT of time in the border towns (Saltillo/Metamorous/Acuna/Jtown/Nogalis) installing automation for the big 3 and appliance manufacturers... Caracus Venezuela/Manaus Brazil/ALL over Canada/Switzerland/Munich/Birmingham UK/East Coast/West Coast/Gulf Coast/Rochester & UpstateNY...

    I really didn't have a home from 1984 - 1992ish, my home was Ohare/STL airport/Holiday Inn... Bought my place outside of St Louis in the country around 1990...

    Long Beach/Lakewood is my second home since the mid 80's...

    I had so many FF miles on United Airlines and American when I quit traveling you wouldn't believe it... BEFORE KIDS, my wife and I flew all over the U.S. for YEARS without paying for trips/hotels... My wife had a home but I didn't...

    P.S. We just switched over to SouthWest and will be flying them almost exclusively once my Frontier FF miles are all gone...

    I didn't know this but JetBlue you can only use credits for one year. I had enough for a round trip ticket to Vegas. I was 2 weeks late and they wouldn't give it to me. Nor do they send you a reminder. Kind of sucky if you ask me.

    I've been flying on the "free" company bus for 22 years. Before I tapped out and got married it was Marti Gras, Vegas, Pier 39 for lunch, traveling the country with the Superstock series (I've been to Creve Cour lake twice ) and pretty much picking up and taking off whenever or wherever I wanted. I travelled so much back then that I rarely go anywhere nowadays.
