Well, we made it. Almost didn't, but in the end made it here faster than we'd originally planned.
The short of it is that our original NorthWest Flight from Harrisburg was delayed beyond our ability to make our connecting flights to get us here to Hawaii before Christmas. Someone, obviously overcome with Christmas spirit recognized this and after spending 2 hours of creeping forward in the ticket counter line we were informed that we had been re-routed on United and were scheduled to arrive in Honolulu 4 hours early.
So we're here. Wish you could be too.
"White Christmas", when it's the sand of Waikiki beach can be a tradition I could become acustomed to I think.
Oh, FYI - there actually is a United Airlines Flight Number "1"
and I thought that they started their numbering sequence at 1,000
Many more updates to come... perhaps. Time to get out and enjoy the sunshine now though.
