July 22-23, 2013
MAGIC CARPET Round-The-World Check-out Ride!
Hurry! This once-in-a-lifetime deal will sell out fast! Reserve your seat for the maiden check-out ride on the Magic Carpet!
First Class, Business Class, Economy, Backpacker or Freight? It doesn’t matter! On the magic carpet, all seats are unique, and because it’s magic, there’s room for everyone!
But wait! There is a catch! (Isn’t there always a touch of fine print?)
In the comment section, leave your name/names and GPS location to reserve a seat! This will be a pot-luck flight; my Ecuadorian friends (Co-hosting this event) will supply the shrimp, but everyone should contribute something!
What’s for breakfast? (Quinoa Pizza!) Anything served on the magic carpet will surely be a unique experience!
Suggested items: Appetizer, side dish, Chinese lanterns, dessert, flotation devices, badminton set, cafe, dancing donkeys, coffee press, howler monkey, tea, jig saw, napkins, ivory-billed woodpecker, table cloth, guitar, mosquito repellent, night-vision binoculars, red wine, watercolor brushes,ginger ale, maracas, grits (grits?!) yes grits, baby grand, brownies, boogie board, stethoscope, saffron… (No MSG or artificial sweeteners, please!)
Zeebra Surprises
This is the alpha and omega, the one and final members-only opportunity to reserve your seat on the Magic Carpet Round-the-World check-out ride! The July Aquarid Meteors should not affect the navigation system, and the full moon will replace our need for landing lights. Because we will fly from east to west, this will be a never-ending night ride beneath the magical spell of this month’s “Buck Moon.”

Scott, N37 14.10389 W115 48.66701, I have strawberry cupcakes
Strawberry cupcakes?! oh yes, those will be a great addition!
3714.10389 N 11548.66701w i cannot make these coordinates work.on maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=ml
most have two numbers before the decimal point then more numbers.. we’ll keep trying!
i tossed different variations of this and ended up in china! 37 14.10389 115 48.66701
everything else hits a dead end!
try copy and paste the numbers N37 14.10389 W115 48.66701 to include the spaces =) I hope you find the location funny and not annoying
i’ve tried for hours! one of the problems is the bandwidth is so slow in the daytime that few things work well.
google takes me to a closeup and won’t back back out to see where we are… and it doesn’t give an option to label it like the other sites do.. i wondered if this is an area where one should not be!
are you going to get the carpet shot down for being over secured airspace?!!!
i’ll try later, but it’s usually after ten at night when it works fast!
oh my, sorry for the trouble… I didn’t think of the whole secure airspace and all that, better to avoid accidents… you can mark my location down for Rachel, Nevada, I’ll be the guy in the alien costume with the basket of strawberry cupcakes =)
or 37.2350° N, 115.8111° W works as well

jajajaja! or we can use the term, ‘no fumar espanol…’
you won’t have time to smoke anyway!!!
Oh! Please sign me up! 38.7764° N, 76.5556° W. I’ll bring my husband with his guitar and he can sing for us. Hmmm… on a musician’s salary, I guess we’d better go economy. I’ll bring some homemade Italian style bread and olive oil.

In the midst of a blackout right now from a horrendous storm! Candles and white wine. Oh yeah!
Wow.. storm. we’re in the dry season, so a storm would be a really weird thing to experience. the candles and wine sound great! salud!
A virtual passenger or two from 47 40 N, 122 10 W; altitude about 300′ above sea level, would like to reserve a first class seat (or two if you have room). Bringing a bottle of local wine, some fresh-picked local blackberries…and curiosity.
Two seats reserved for BlueBrightly! it will be great to see you!
Oh! Silvana is at a 10-day leadership conference in Venezuela, and I am sure she will want to ride for part of the journey while the other attendees are sleeping! She won’t receive this post, so we’ll have to swoop down and find her!

Roll out……Roll out for the mystery tour. The magical mystery tour is coming to take you away. Well done. Of course, you could have dipped into a little Steppenwolf as well.
By the way, is your friend in NC also in the business of art and photography? I have a reason for asking. Would you mind if I reach out by email to you? Thanks, BTG

yes, you’re still in copilot seat, but i might sign you off for pilot and put someone else in co pilot so that i can join the wine and margarita club… i can already see your face ‘ but what about me?’ so maybe we need to find several candidates for pilot and copilot backups!
dear Lisa, I’ll try to understand, what I must do, to reserve a seat for the maiden check-out ride on your Magic Carpet!

Just beautiful

I can’t believe I missed the flight! 😀 Hope everyone had a magical journey.

YAY! Montreal Quebec Canada – Quick diversion and I am in by the look of the map so far. I was unable to draw the coordinates or add myself so manual it is!!
this navigator prefers the old school of plotting the flight plan!
thanks!
Hoping the door is still open and there’s room for just one more…..
45.31’12″N/122.40’55″W
Have made a new batch of cinnamon rolls also bringing on board coffee press, fresh ground coffee and real dairy half&half.
yes yes yes! i’ll be sure to tuck away some fresh green beans for you to take home!
my friend cynthia would swim the ocean for real dairy half&half! the farmers make butter, but no one seems to sell cream!
green (coffee) beans! your location has been added to our flight plan. see you tonight!
google is placing you in the philippines!
Ok, Z. I’m in. I’ll hop aboard the magic carpet and I’ll bring all those dishes I showcased on the food phoneography post (http://thepalladiantraveler.com/2013/07/22/phoneography-challenge-food/). Here’s my GPS location: N45 32.75345 E11 32.4171. C u soon.
wow! thanks so much! we’re going to be stuffed!!!! z
What a fun flight. Hubby and I will take two first class tickets and I’ll bring along home made brownies and a bottle of South African Raka Malbec. 🙂 We’ll be boarding from the beach in Umhlanga. -29.736116,31.081204 🙂
you are officially added to the flight plan! that area looks really nice.. perhaps we can have a powder room stop there?!
Was there a final call for this departure yet? I hope not, I’d love to join this moon flight!
My coordinates: 60° 47′ 0″ N, 14° 51′ 0″ E (Siljansnäs, Sweden). I’ll bring some Swedish cinnamon buns, may seem simple but I’ll tell you about this well-known local trick, and you’ll understand their magic: when you have prospective house buyers coming to inspect your house, make sure to bake cinnamon buns in the morning, and that delicious sweet smell will have them want the house! I can also offer a Nordic light summer night, for easy navigation. Fingers crossed there is still a seat available…
Cinnamon buns sound so nice, and we’ll leave a mysterious scent trail of cinnamon as we travel the globe!
I’m ready. Can’t miss out on this opportunity of a lifetime!
Great elena! What’s the closest town/location for us to find you via google maps and mark your location??
Is there room for me?! Can I sit next to Jots and Frizz? I can bring mini bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon, spearmint tea and some more brownies (we can never have too many brownies) oh I hope these are the right coordinates: Al norte 32° 43′, al sur 28 °00′ de latitud norte; al este 112° 47′, al oeste 117° 07′ de longitud oeste. 🙂 I have no idea where I live, on a grand geographical scale… Alexandra
you are officially added to the flight list! we’ll be flying out soon…..
Oh, I love magical things. I’ll enjoy all of your stories from your trip. Have fun …!!!!!
we’ve had technical glitches, but the flight will be leaving soon! z

I must have been sleeping too soundly and missed the flight! 🙂 I just know from the guest list that it was magical.
Cool idea … totally after-the-fact, sorry. D
