The best part of the job was traveling to new places and meeting new people. I'll always remember standing on top of the 109th floor of the Sears Tower with no railing, climbing to the top of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, or up the top of the twenty story wind turbine in Washington, and driving a school bus at the Thomas School Bus factory in North Carolina. But the people we met were the greatest. They were always proud of their job, their product, and their company. On many occasions I asked if they were hiring....just in case I needed a job when the series ended.

Most interesting to me is how differently the crew members packed for long road trips which usually lasted about ten days. Recio Young, our Production Assistant packed a different pair of pants for each day. He was sure never to wear any pants twice. On the other hand, he would only pack a few pairs of socks and re-use them many times. Kevin Brown, our audio engineer told us that he would only bring a few pair of briefs along and wash them in the hotel room sink. Everyone thought I was crazy for bringing four pairs of pants but had a belt already in place on each pair. My plan was to save thirty seconds each morning by not having to put a belt into my pants. 

We'd get up awfully early on some mornings and every second of extra sleep counted. Riding in the RV was the best part of the job...seeing the country and getting to know the other crew members like Ami (makeup) and Wes, (DP). Wes was also a technological wizard and had the RV set up so we could do internet while driving down the freeway. I most loved sitting up front with our driver Mike and sharing stories about all the different types of food we'd hope to eat during the trip.

I think the entire crew and John would agree that working on the show gave us memories we'd cherish for the rest of our lives.
