HAWAII
DAY 1 – Friday


It is here, the day we had been waiting for, the day of departure for our two week trip to Hawaii. But at 4:30 am it seemed more like the day of dread. Hawaiian Airlines suggested we arrive at the airport three hours in advance. I don’t think so. If the airlines can’t control the terrorists, what do they think they can do with a bunch of irate passengers who arrived at the airport three hours early to avoid the long wait in lines, only to find that they negotiated the lines in half an hour, and now find themselves with a two and-one-half hour wait in the terminal before their flight to takes off? None the less, the day of departure is here and we revel in it.

Thanks to a total looser of a film, “Up in the Air”, the six hour flight only seemed like seven hours. After being fed burritos for lunch and given some free juice I settled back into my comfy seat, listened to piped in Hawaiian music, and dreamt of better times.



Life is good.
