Greetings
Greetings from 10,000 meters -- I am beginning this week's column from somewhere high over the Pacific Ocean on United Flight 897 bound for Tokyo.
When we were kids living in Japan, we used to joke about the day we would travel overseas "just for the weekend" -- well those times are well and truly here.
Even better than that is the people you meet on the plane. I have just met two dear, longtime friends and it will certainly be a short flight back to Japan because of their company.
