Hawaii Here We Come, Maybe
We’re planning to leave tomorrow morning for Honolulu! Maria has a week-long conference to attend, and poor Kai and I are being dragged along. But nature is conspiring against us:
- Last night Kai started up with this unearthly, horrible sounding cough. Let’s hope it doesn’t turn into something nasty.
- Maria’s 24×7 morning sickness, which was supposed to stop in her third month, is still going strong in her 4th month. She was out of commission most of the weekend. But she’s been having “good days” on a more frequent basis recently, so let’s hope that trend continues.
- We’re supposed to get from 3″ - 10″ of snow (mixed with sleet) over the next 24 hours, and our flights are scheduled to leave within that time frame (very early tomorrow morning). Let’s hope the flights don’t get canceled. I say “flights” because I’m flying separately from Maria and Kai. Her flight was bought and paid for by the conference organizers, and she got a free companion ticket for Kai with her frequent flyer miles. When I bought my ticket, I couldn’t get on the same flight (I leave a couple hours earlier). With both of them in questionable health, I’m worried about how they’ll do on such a long flight.
As you can see, the odds are not in our favor right now…
Latest Honolulu forecast: Low: 67, High: 81, Mostly Sunny. Our hotel is a block and a half from the beach.
Please cross your fingers, break out your rabbit’s foot, pray, or anything else you think might help send us some luck over the next 24 hours.
