I want to let everybody know that even though Cathay Pacific has some attractive flight attendants, I do not have yellow fever. You can’t imagine how many people have asked me about this in the past couple of weeks. Enough said.

Trans-Pacific Flight to Hong Kong

In the time that it took me to go from Provo to state line, the plane has covered approximately 2,880 miles. Still, I feel like I’ll be on this plane forever. I’ve covered nearly 6 hours of a 14.5-hour flight now. What have I accomplished? Not a whole lot. I read the magazines that had [...]

My adventures will take me through Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. I’ll spend the first two weeks with my good friend, Yale; during the [...]

I have been out of the loop for some time now, mostly because I am too lazy to include it. However, I was impressed that the New York Times had a front page article (a few weeks ago) on WrestleMania. I happened to be in Detroit that same weekend for the 2007 AITP National Collegiate [...]
