Alaskan Airlines

Currently about halfway from Minneapolis to Seattle, the first leg of the journey.

I'm flying Alaskan Airlines - another first. Their service has been top notch.  The plane comes equipped with wifi and electric outlets at every seat.

Grabbed me a gin and tonic... which was going to be "on the house" for trading seats with a dad in the exit row so he could sit next to his two year old daughter. 

Anyway, will write back again later. There is a lady sitting in the row in front of me who opened a mason jar of salmon... so now the plane smells like a fishery.

Welcome

Welcome to my first blog post!

For those of you who may have stumbled across this by accident, my name is Justin, a third year resident in Family Medicine at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have chosen to do a month-long elective in Pediatrics at the Lyndon B. Johnson Tropical Medical Center in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

And for those of you whom I know, welcome! I hope you find my random musings and postings [at least] amusing, if not informative.

Especially for my fellow residents, I hope that my experience helps to inspire you to pursue your interests and to think outside the box when designing your electives during your G3 year.

As this is my first attempt at blogging, forgive me if I ramble a bit.  It is my goal to post something daily (wifi pending of course). Please feel free to comment, subscribe, and share with your friends and family.

Thanks! ~Justin
