788 Southwest Airlines $200 Gift Card Giveaway sponsored by AirlineTickets.org

Traveling is one of my very favorite things to do.  During my college years and for a few years after I spent a lot of time living abroad.  Those were very happy days for me.  I love airports.

I'm not surprised and this makes me very sad! The last time I flew I asked them about recycling the cans in flight and they said they didn't do it cause it was cheaper to throw them away :( These huge companies need to do the right thing, it's getting ridiculous!

Hi everyone Im Sophia and I am 59 years and new to the "net".

My only hobby is reading books. For this reason my grandson gave me a kindle. This device has made reading books much easier because I do not have to move weighty books e.g. one of my favourites " and Lore of Ireland".

When I finish reading I normally visit [url=http://www.1kindlebook.com/Ebooks_Kindle-eBooks.html]1kindlebook.com[/url] to buy one more. The top thing is I am able to easily re-read a book. Its like my library.

I am looking forward to meeting you people.
