"Wifi with Wings"

I'm currently a few thousand feet above Kansas, or some other featureless, flat midwestern state nearing the 24th hour of my journey home. Having exhausted my reading material (Bill Bryson's "In a Sunburned Country") and my 7th crossword puzzle a little bit ago, I was beginning to go batty and had just started a tic-tac-toe tournament with myself when i noticed a little green card poking out of my seat pocket. "GOGO!" it urged. "Wifi with Wings." Wireless? On an airplane? And voila! Sanity restored.

I wonder what airlines will develop next to make flights homier. Showers? Leasable pets? Massage chairs? Edible food? A girl can dream.

Anyway, I figured I would use the remaining hours of my confinement to post a few of the articles I wrote this summer so if the editor of Lonely Planet Magazine (or any editor, really) should happen to stumble on my blog they can offer me life-long tenure. Once again, a girl can dream.

Here goes. I'll upload pictures later because though inflight-internet is an incredible novelty, its about as fast as a stoned snail.
