Greetings fellow members,
So the saga continues after a hellish 9.5 hr flight from Auckland, via Brisbane (3 hrs), I arrived in hawaii this am...
Hotted up to to 28C and humid.
Today, after the supreme Air Canada f**k around (AND I mean supreme), I managed to explore locally the Arizona memorial (oil still leaks in at times huge blobs), and the Missouri. Missed out on the Avaition and sub museum, due to lack of time spent sniffing around this Sheila named Kim, which ended up to be a waste of time, as she had to get back to work ;D. I wish I could think with my bigger head sometimes, as I need to do what I thought was a proper time apprecation.
Found a great hideaway, the USO lounge between E and F portals on the foreign baggage pick up area. Thats where I am (again) right now. So if you are on a stopover, or end up in Honolulu, bring your CAFIB20, or whatever its called now. Quiet leather lounges, free INet TV, clean toilets and you are moung brothers. A real good set up, adn I have to hand it to the Yanks for such a good soldier wefare system. I've been flashing back to Ali Al Salem and Camp Victory's USO tents in theatre. They were great!
SITREP now is I am about to pick up my bags from a private storage company (say good bye to 20 bucks US) because Air Canada does not open for another hour, so needless to say I flew in this am and usually, ones bags are forwarded on as I am jsut stopping over, but not now, and no Air Canada to Assist, just one rude local who seemed rather agitated that I rang the buzzer. What a pack of losers, so far giving AC a .003/10. All the other air lines were manned. So, enough of the rant, Vancouver here I come.
Cold Blues, as in Labatt's
Happy days,
OWDU
