Hawaii: Day 0 (Departure)
Posted by J.D. in Hawaii, Travel, Uncategorized on December 9th, 2009
We’re in the Spfd airport, warm and out of the snow. Our flight is now scheduled for 8AM (instead of 7:40AM). Apparently the crew was delayed getting in the night before. They are required to get a minimum amount of rest, so our flight is slightly delayed. We’re all for the crew having plenty of rest, so no biggie
. The new Springfield terminal is pretty nice, power (AC and USB) outlets under a number of seats and the wifi can pull down about 700kbs (actual throughput) on downloads.
I liked getting t experience some snow this morning before heading out to warmer climates.
To be updated…
8:24PM (12:24AM central time) UPDATE We’re all settled into the condo in Hawaii!
The flights were uneventful, everything went smoothly in the air. Once we arrived on the big island we took a taxi to the condo, but it took us a long time to find our unit (it was dark and the building we needed was behind the tennis courts). We made it though! The place is nice and the shower felt AWESOME after being in planes and airports all day.
A big THANK YOU to my mom for taking us up to Springfield and for Kevin and Shannon for letting us stay at their place and for Kevin driving us to the airport so early in the morning. Also, thanks to family and friends housesitting while we’re away!
Work is done so it’s party time

For the past week Samantha and I have been working hard in preparation for taking some time off to party. Now party time has arrived
. We’re in Springfield now, I’m doing some final work from the comfort of our Honda Element and Samantha is getting ready to go hang out with Cheryl and Amy. Tomorrow I’m meeting up with some Drury buddies for lunch and then it is time to celebrate Kevin’s birthday in the evening (we’re going to watch Star Trek amongst other manly things
).
After that it should be some R&R in Spfd and Rockaway until the weekend when hopefully we’ll get to hang out with Samantha’s mom (and maybe Samantha’s grandparents) in the vicinity of Springfield and Bolivar. I’m sure there will be some work interspersed in there and I know we’ll be mowing the yard in Rockaway (if we ever get more dry weather) but overall we have our ducks in a row so it is nice to chill a bit!
Hope everybody is having a good week out there!!
PS It was an absolutely gorgeous day this morning and noon, hopefully a sign of more nice weather this Spring!
