[Miami, Thursday 26, 2015, rke]
– Une tirĂ©e d’aile jusqu’Ă Miami, depuis Zurich, n’a rien d’extraordinaire de
nos jours. N’empĂŞche, me voilĂ embarquĂ© dans un de mes nouveaux trip. Cap sur
la NASA avec le lancement du cargo ravitailleur privé Cygnus
d’Orbital Sciences et plus si la logistique le permet. Comme les voyages
forment la jeunesse, j’ai eu l’occasion de tomber sur une Ă©quipe de
contemporains fribourgeois en route pour une croisière à Miami. Plus
prĂ©cisĂ©ment l’Amicale des contemporains de Corpataux-Magnedens des annĂ©es
1954-1955-1956. J’aurais pu y ĂŞtre, vu que je suis nĂ©e en 1956. A mon cĂ´tĂ©, en
place assise Ă©conomique, Jean-Pierre Sallin m’a dĂ©voilĂ© son programme sur le
Bahamas. Morale de cette histoire : l’avion, Ă bord duquel nous Ă©tions (LX
66) Ă©tait aux couleurs du canton de Fribourg !
Ă€ propos, les Ă©vĂ©nements actuels n’empĂŞchent
guère les touristes de voyager. L’avion de la compagnie Swiss Ă©tait bourrĂ© Ă craquer
et la douane de Miami devient de mieux en mieux organisée. Contrôles stricts,
mais brefs, fichage rapide par camĂ©ra et empreintes digitales. Si l’on reste
bien sage bien entendu. En moment, j’ai eu peur qu’on me prenne la pomme de la
Migros insĂ©rĂ©e dans ma valise. Après ce que m’a racontĂ© Jean-Pierre Salin, longtemps
retenu autrefois Ă cause d’une pomme, mes craintes Ă©taient justifiĂ©es. Cette
fois, on m’a facilement laissĂ© passer parce que j’utilise un ordinateur
Apple ?
Allez savoir. Enfin, me voilĂ posĂ©…
Allez savoir. Enfin, me voilĂ posĂ©…
My
apple has cleared customs, the Swiss contemporary and the plane of Fribourg,
too

Flying away from Zurich until Miami is nothing
a special event. Nevertheless, I boarded in one of my new trips. So, let's go to
focus on NAS about the private cargo Orbital
Sciences Cygnus and its logistics launch from KSC (Kennedy Space Center) Air
Force Base to International Space Station (ISS). Maybe I can report more news
about another trip if it’s possible.
Well, in my country, we say « travel broadens the mind » and so, I had the opportunity to fly with a contemporary Fribourg team « en route » to a cruise in Miami. It’s an association of a little country, Corpataux-Magnedens ins the canton of Fribourg, at the Midwest of Switzerland. This « friendly association » was created for the years of 1954-1955-1956. Oh, I could be a member because I’m of 1956, too. Ah, la, la, the time runs away like a launch count-down. At my side seat, Jean-Pierre Sallin me unveiled its program in the Bahamas. Moral of this story: the plane, on which we were (LX 66) was in the colors of the canton of Fribourg!

Opportune, current events hardly prevent
tourists from traveling. The aircraft of the Swiss company was filled to bursting and
it would be seen that the customs of Miami gets better and better organized.
Brief but strict controls, fast fichage camera and fingerprints. If we stay
quiet, obviously. For a while, I was anxious taking with me an apple of Migros Market (like WalMart in USA), inserted into my
suitcase. After that told me Jean-Pierre Salin, my fears were justified because
he had once held at customs about only a forgotten apple. This time, I was
easily missed because I use an Apple computer ? Who knows…
So, I’m in States, welcome in USA.
