Hi Everyone!
Sorry I've been MIA; it's getting difficult to update all the forums, but I wanted to let you know where I am these days with my airplane hitchhiking project!

As of writing this, I am in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, marking state #26. I landed here yesterday in a Beech Baron and am trying to head to New England next, hopefully Oshkosh in July and Alaska in August (somehow).

For those of you who aren't familiar, I am a travel writer who is hitchhiking on general aviation planes in an effort to visit all 50 states. I started in July 2012 and am blogging about the adventure on JetHiking.com and a book is in the works.

Speaking of the website, I just re-launched JetHiking.com so it should look much better on all those smartphones! I'm still working out a few kinks, but it's getting there. I also bought a Go Pro camera so I'll be video blogging very soon. I'm editing a hang gliding video right now.
You can check out which states I've been to here: http://jethiking.com/about/what-is-jethiking/

I had a blast at Sun N Fun in April, and have been hanging out in South Florida for the month of May working as a bartender and as a deckhand on a sailboat so I have the funds for part two of the journey.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with the trip and for all of your kind e-mails and support!

The adventure continues....

Be nice to see you again if you ever get to Colorado, Amber!
 
I gotta say, I am extremely jealous! This sounds like such an amazing adventure! Good luck! I can't wait to read a book about this (I'm not much of a reader, so that says something, haha!)
 
Thanks everyone! It was too good of an idea to sit on the shelf and always wonder "what if."

I'm in Norfolk, Virginia now!
