Somewhere Between Chicago and Los Angeles

Somewhere Between Chicago and Los Angeles

Saimin and Curry bowls, Honolulu

Yeep. I made a pact with myself that while on vacation I wouldn’t check email at all. I didn’t know if there’d be an internet connection on Kauai and when there was, I pretended there wasn’t. I really just needed to get away. But then I get home and have 597 emails. And I don’t think many of them are spam because they’re all through gmail, which is really great at filtering it out. I guess that’s what I get for not keeping up as I went along.

Ugh. It feels weird to be back home. We took red-eye flights last night. I had a layover in San Diego for a while and just got in this afternoon. Last night I was seriously considering canceling my flight and leaving everything behind and just staying in Honolulu. Sounded like a great plan! At least it’s semi-warm here, even if there is still snow on the ground.

The first year I was in Hawaii, it was with a group of all friends. The next time it was all Dallas’ family. This time was a mix. We were with many friends but also Dallas’ sister Caroline and brother Jordan. Like the last time, we did spend a lot of time with family and local friends, too. It was a great time and a great mix of things to do with all different people. Of course I have a ton of photos to get through and lots of stories. It will probably take me some time…

These photos are from our flight out from Chicago to LA. Then when we got to the Honolulu airport we were hungry so we got some saimin and curry in the main terminal.
