With time in New York, Vancouver, San Jose, Narita, Hong Kong &#038; Los Angeles, at times I am wondering just where I am. <\/p>\n<p>The time away traveling has brem fun and I have loved every minute of it, but it&#8217;s time to get stuck into some work! The Hong Kong trip report should be all finished today, ready for posting still tossing up if I should write a trip report or not for the LAX trip. Then the focus is two things:<\/p>\n<p>1. AirlineReporter.com articles<br \/>\n2. Training <\/p>\n<p>The articles i really need to get stuck into and work out just what I need to write first. I&#8217;ve got at least 6 or 7 pieces out of the ANA trip plus a few pitches I need to make to line up some future stories. <\/p>\n<p>Training wise it&#8217;s time to start looking forward to the triathlon in September and start getting in some extra sessions. Since I can&#8217;t run yet (even walking isn&#8217;t comfortable some days) this is prime time to work on my bike and swimming skills.\u00a0 So as I try to lose the 6 pounds I put on over the laat few weeks, I am going to add at least 3 sessions a week of swimming (not sure how many laps yet) and try to get on a real bike at least once a week. <\/p>\n<p>This should help me not only burn off that weight but also get my skills up ready for the tri. It is not going to be easy but I am ready for the challenges ahead of me. <\/p>\n<p>Photos are taking a back role now till i get some decent free time to power through everything but rest assured the basic photos are up already from all three trips.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width:194px;\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" style=\"height:194px;background:url(https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/109346098513022744611\/ANAAmbassador?authuser=0&#038;feat=embedwebsite\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-imgvg5Phu-0\/UbAAnXDzDVE\/AAAAAAABKf0\/dPEzHQW7Tgw\/s160-c\/ANAAmbassador.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" style=\"margin:1px 0 0 4px;\"><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/109346098513022744611\/ANAAmbassador?authuser=0&#038;feat=embedwebsite\" style=\"color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;\">ANA Ambassador<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<table style=\"width:194px;\">\n<tr>\n<td align=\"center\" style=\"height:194px;background:url(https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/109346098513022744611\/LAXAvgeekRun?authuser=0&#038;feat=embedwebsite\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-lz7XkWnFaj4\/UbU6yHoTf6E\/AAAAAAABKdQ\/vgGsHF1g_FA\/s160-c\/LAXAvgeekRun.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" style=\"margin:1px 0 0 4px;\"><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:11px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/109346098513022744611\/LAXAvgeekRun?authuser=0&#038;feat=embedwebsite\" style=\"color:#4D4D4D;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;\">LAX Avgeek Run<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has beem a crazu couple of weeks of travelling.
