Greeting from Hawaii

Yes, I am in Hawaii. I arrived a few hours shy of 24 hours AFTER I was supposed to have gotten here. I was delayed in Texas for mechanical issues. We left 45 minutes after we were supposed to. So I then ran to my connecting flight to Hawaii from Seattle. The airplane attendants were nice enough to move me to the front and the pilots even got on and said for everyone to stay seated and let all of off so we could try and make our flight. Well 5 of us missed the flight and stayed the night in Seattle courtesy of Alaska Airlines AFTER running back and forth all over the airport from one end to the other and getting on shuttles to different terminals. The next day we were scheduled for a 9:05 AM flight and what do you know? Delayed for 3 and half hours! They then decided to put us on another flight. I finally arrived at 5:45 PM in Hawaii. I was so thankful to finally be here after that adventure.

The last two days have primarily consisted of me getting unpacked, going grocery shopping, and running errands. Andy took the week off to hang out with me. I am also enjoying watching Andy play the new Call of Duty game (he's not very good yet so I mainly watch him die a lot).

The rain as subsided for now. Hawaii has millions of dollars in damages from flooding. I did happen to make it out of Kansas in the nick of time. It is cold and snowy there (nice to see, but I hate to drive in snow and be in the cold). It was 82 degrees today and I wore flip flops. Andy's family is also experiencing snow. I think I'm happy being here and away from that!

Everyone have a great Wednesday!
