Space Shuttle “Lands” at IAD

ByEdward Pizzarello

I don’t have a ton of time to post, but the shuttle Discovery landed piggy back on a 747 at IAD this morning. Since the shuttle program has been discontinued, landings such as these are bound to be a thing of the past quite soon. I’d never seen it before, so I took Catherine over to Dulles and stood on the roof of the car. More pics later, but here’s a quick peek.

My goal in life is to fill my family’s passports with stamps, creating buckets of memories along the way. You’ll find me writing about realistic ways for normal people to travel the world, whether you’re on a budget or enjoy luxury. I also enjoy taking us on the occasional detour to explore the inner workings of the travel industry.
