After missing my flight to Vegas, I resolved to not let that happen this time. Packed earlier, scheduled a later flight, left for the airport earlier. Then, this happened, my flight was delayed anyway, and I missed my connection.
PSA: When you fly Southwest there are no assigned seats. If you decide you want to sit next to your wife, you should board with her. Don't sit in the exit row and think you are going to lay claim to another seat for her. Not after gunshots at the airport and me knowing I'm missing my connection.
Spent the night in San Diego without the chance to actually experience San Diego and was back at the airport at 6am for my flight to Maui where we’d change plans before making our way to Oahu. Somewhere between here and there we had a medical emergency on board and the decision was made to fly directly to Honolulu as they had better hospital facilities.
Those of us that were heading to Honolulu originally were allowed to deplane and I arrived at the hotel about 11am, give or take, which basically meant I missed a late night and an early breakfast (that I would have slept through). Not bad all things considered!
Had a fantastic time! My friend Karen and I were right in Waikiki, across the street from the beach, and maybe a 15 minute walk to the Hawai’i School for the Deaf. Spent some time visiting both and had the chance to hang with a good friend I hadn't seen in far too long, Jamia. Absolutely have to return.
December was bringing my Comprehensive Exams with it so it was important for me to get away while I could in November. It was a last hurrah of sorts before I sequestered myself away to write.
I imagine there were fewer people there due to Covid, but I wouldn’t mind making Hawai’i a regular destination.
