A Hawaii ex-patriate, Lani produces user manuals as a technical writer for a San Francisco Bay Area software company. She has completed the Honolulu Marathon twice and the WDW Marathon once (in 2003). The half-marathon is Lani's favorite distance, and she has done 5 so far (2 of them at WDW). Her PR (personal record) for the half is 2:11 (Big Sur Half, 2004).

When Lani is not managing the copy editing tasks here, you can usually find her at the gym, slogging away those slow miles on the treadmill. She also maintains her internationally recognized Travelite FAQ and flies whenever she can. Her current obsession is the World of Warcraft computer game.

In the occasional spare moment, Lani and her husband, Alex—our MousePlanet CEO and MouseAdventure event coordinator—attend baseball games, and drive down to Disneyland in their 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid (which gets 50mpg).
