Hey, all

im staying in the Navy Lodge a few minutes from 'Aiea (pronounced eye-AY-uh), which is a few miles down the interstate from Honolulu. It is 80 degrees here, and will be the whole three years i am in Hawai'i.

So we had the most boring flight ever:

We woke up at 4:00 in the morning to go to the airport, and my dog was packing her toys in my suitcase. She knows we're going somewhere, and she thinks she's going. We left the house, and got on the interstate for Nashville Airport. We got there, and we sat in the gate to Denver for an hour.

We arrived in Denver in no time. We had an hour and a half to spare. We went to Dominoes to eat lunch, I bought The Client, a Grisham book, and then roamed the largest airport in the world. When we boarded the plane, it took five minutes to take off, because the runway was so freakin' long. Then we were in the air for 7 hours and 6 minutes. We played "Halfway to Hawai'i" and filled out paperwork, paperwork required to be done by the state of Hawai'i. They are into the save the Hawaiian Environment thing, so they don't want you to bring crap in. We watched the Polar Express, which was the worst movie of all time, and then finally landed after 3 forevers.

We drove around, with my dad (we felt like hicks, since we still had our Rutherford County Tennessee plates on), and found out that the radio stations suck. We ate at the NEX mall food court (NEX is the Navy Exchange).

Then at 11:00 PM we went to Honolulu Airport to ge tmy mom, who had originally been scheduled to fly in at 8:30, but she missed her flight at LAX, because her Nashville to Chicago was late, and her Chicago to LAX was delayed. Yeah, it was fun.
