Aloha and mahalo
I'm currently sitting in the airport in Honolulu, waiting for my connection to Kona, and drinking a Tropical Colada (less coconut, more rum.)
My 10 hour flight from Atlanta to Honolulu wasn't actually too bad. I packed a ridiculous amount of snacks, anticipating nasty and sparse food, so wound up munching during pretty much the whole trip. I wasn't upgraded, but I had a window seat, and nice older Hawaiian gentleman sitting next to me, who was just coming back from a month of visiting his 12 children who live on the mainland.
The strangest thing was that the video monitor most visible to my section of seats was showing the image backwards - none of the flight attendants had a clue (or were interested in trying to figure out why) - so every time someone in a movie was sitting in the driver's seat of a car, it looked like it was in England. Watching the GPS map of the plane was a bit headache-causing, trying to mentally flip the names of the cities.
I watched "The Pursuit of Happyness", which I thought was excellent, then worked on my laptop during the showing of "Rocky Balboa" which I had no interest in, and then put my headphones back on to watch "Night at the Museum" while I continued to work. THAT was a dreadful movie.
Will try to post during the program if I get the chance. I'm eagerly awaiting the chance to tell this client that I'm leaving, as I'm deadly curious as to what his reaction will be. I think I'll tell him it's because of the blankets.
