We’ve been sitting in the terminal for 9 hours now. The plane is loaded with luggage, the crew is on board, and there are people working on the engine right outside the window here. The airline just put up a sign about compensation for the flight. They still say they are just waiting to hear from the crew fixing the engine. The crowd here is getting rowdy. We do know that our connecting flight will be there in Honolulu to Kauai for the passengers on our flight. From what I hear, if they can’t finish fixing this plane, there is an empty plane coming from Hawaii to come get us, but it won’t get here until about 10pm. Hawaii, here we come?
UPDATE: It’s 7pm and we were just told our flight should be off! Our connection is held for us, and the rental car place is staying open until the flight gets in. Hawaii here we come!
UPDATE 2: Cancel that! Just like our flight. There is another plane coming for us. It lands here at 9pm. We may have to stay in Honolulu over night. It’s now unsure about the connecting flight that was waiting for us. Where ever and when ever we’re going, here we come!
UPDATE 3: I guess the third time is a charm! Kelley and I landed in Honolulu at 2am local time, 5am San Diego time. We got our sleep on the plane. Our connection is at 5:10am. We were given hotel and transportation, but we’ll just stay in the terminal. What’s another 3 hours of waiting in a terminal when you’ve already done it for 13 hours. Unless something else happens, this will be the last blog post until I get back! Aloha!
The Padre’s game finally ended in the 22nd inning. The game was 6 hours long and ended around 1:15am. We left in the 13th inning. Thanks for the sign guys! Our names were on the announcements board at the game too.
Getting ready with my best man, Bry! I took this with my Canon G9.
The one of two times I grabbed my Mark III
We think it was Kelley’s cousin CJ that took some photos with Kelley’s camera.
And Chris & Katie Humphrey’s put on an amazing slideshow of photos at the reception! Can’t thank you guys enough!
