On to Hawaii

Feb. 22, 2009
It's off to Hawaii today. Departure from PWM (Portland Me) was scheduled for 0600 but weather conditions @ JFK (New York) required loading more fuel necessitating the removing a couple of passengers from the flight. We finally left about 45 mins late but arrived on time. Next stop SFO ( San Francisco). Departure from JFK was on time with arrival @ SFO close to on time. We had a layover of about 2.5 hrs so it was off to get some eats. We went to Perry's home of $14 burgers and $16 dollar meatloaf. I of course tried the meatloaf thinking there would be a bigger meal since I was starved. Should have gone with the burger, there was more on the plate. Oh well. After eating we found out our flight to Hawaii has been delayed by 1.5hrs. More time to kill. There isn't much here in this terminal to do, so here I sit tapping away at this keyboard. Exciting!!
Given the prominence of Princess Nancy Pelosi and her being the U. S. Representative of San Fran I figured she would have a cardboard cutout of herself greeting fliers into SFO. Maybe she hasn't gotten around to it yet, she has been busy you know creating huge spending bills in Congress. Hey I should tell her my disappointment in not seeing her effigy! A major ego boost to the Princess.
Well it's just sit and wait now for the boarding call; whenever that may be!

Finally got to Honolulu at about 9:15PM local time which works out to 2:15AM EST. What a long day.
After four and a half hours sleep we went to Pearl Harbor for orientation and passes to get on base. Not much to report but it's freakin cold here! Like 63 this morning! A slight difference from what I left, 25 degrees. I'm not sure how much I'll update this but hope to do at least once a week and with pics. Sorry none yet.
