Desination - HAWAI'I (11-16-2005)

3:30 AM
- Woke up to get dressed to get to the airport by 5:00 AM!!!
- We arrived at 5:04 and were denied access to check our luggage because we were 4 min late for checking luggage 30 min. before boarding. Therefore were not allowed to board the plane. We were suppose to leave at 6:00 AM to head to Chicago and then head to Hawai'i getting us in at 3:30 PM Hawai'i time.

- We were transferred over to the 10:00 AM flight, direct from Dallas to Honolulu getting in at 2:30 PM! Let me just inform you that we are flying standby the whole time, there and back. This is why we are moved around and dressed up, in case we get first class! (eyebrows moving up and down with a smile.)

9:45 AM (Me, Marki, Michael)

- Finally boarded the plan in the LAST seats open to the public, row 43!! (all dressed up for first class and get last class)

We are still happy though, because we are GOING TO HAWAI'I!!!

(doing a little dance in my seat!)

- Between the bathrooms w/many visitors
- NO WINDOWS
- Are we seriously that far back?
- First class looks so nice
- Well at least we get two movies to watch
(Hitch and October Skies)

(Lucky Jason and Amanda got a window seat)

- They definitely look happier than the three of us.
- Don't you agree?
- 8 hours and 3,000+ miles later we arrive!

There would be pics but remember, we didn't a window seat.
(not bitter, no, because I am still in HAWAI'I!)
