I’m now well into my first international trip of year. Travelling internationally reminds me of few nuggets of wisdom.

So I’m plane crazy because I really enjoy flying. Enough that I spent a great deal of my time and money flying not for work, but for fun. Now I’m not the craziest one out in the blogosphere, but I do think I push the envelope of what normal people will do. So after many…
