And we’re off!
My fingertips tap the keyboard as I wait at Logan International Airport (Boston) for my Air Canada flight to Toronto. That’s the first stop in this journey. After a month and a half of GMAT crunching and putting my life in order — that sounds horridly morbid, but it’s essentially true — I finally find myself about to cash in my one-way ticket to the PRC. I’d like to thank Air Canada for the following: An amazingly low one-way fare, no baggage fees, super easy check-in and friendly counter agents. Let’s hope the flight itself continues the trend.
After a 3-hour layover in Toronto, I’ll be on my way to Beijing — and hopefully la la land, as I can avoid jetlag with a perfectly timed schluf. Sean’s flying from LAX through Vancouver, so those crazy Canucks get us both for brief time today. We’re attempting to meet up in Beijing. You really can’t do anything but attempt when arriving into the largest airport terminal in the WORLD. If anything, our first moments in Beijing could prove quite interesting. So, 再见, America!

About Me
After years of “playing it safe,” “doing what’s right” and “towing the line,” my toe is tickling the cusp of a new life full of travel, creativity, self-discovery and education both formal and informal. These musings chronicle my search for the extraordinary, in places both big and small, far and near. I nabbed a one way ticket to adventure and I can’t wait to use it.
A bit more about me …
Born and raised near Boston in Quincy, MA, I discovered the world beyond America’s East Coast when I first traveled to Europe in 2000. Bitten by that most delightfully infectious creature, the travel bug, I soon found myself climbing Mt. Fuji in Japan, watching the shadows tilt on Machu Picchu in Peru, deftly avoiding weaving motos in Hanoi, diving in the milky waters of Iceland’s hot springs, bargaining in Istanbul’s main bazaar, snorkeling in the seas off Thailand, and much more. I co-authored Let’s Go: Washington D.C. (2000 edition) and Let’s Go: Barcelona (2003 edition), and enjoy writing, singing, electronic music, tap dancing, storytelling and finding crazy adventures around every turn.
