Perhaps you already know him, but if not say hello to Christopher Elliott, big time travel writer for MSNBC and National Geographic Traveler. He also also writes a travel blog that I follow.

I’ve posted INTERVIEW WITH A FLIGHT ATTENDANT – ME on Gadling.com, so make sure to check it out. As for the one who asked me all those great questions, here she is…LACY! How old are you Lacy? Im 17 years old What grade are you in? I’m a Jr. What…

Hi…I know this is really random and weird…but I’m a Jr in high school and we were given an assignment to write a research paper over a job that we would like to do once we graduate and I have become very interested in becoming a flight attendant. Anyway part…

What do we three have in common? JAUNTED! Check out what Jaunted.com wrote about us – US! As in me, Linds and Sam…. Don’t mess with Samantha Ronson! Granted, her mean face is probably directed toward the nasty paparazzi instead of fellow passengers on her flight that touched down at…
