Pictures from Hawai'i 2006
NEW YORK -- Like usual after a holiday, the airlines overbooked everything, and making a connection in O'Hare proved trying. I flew into ORD at 6AM on the redeye from Kona. Every flight from ORD to New York was booked solid, and they were even taking volunteers to be bumped. In exchange for staying at ORD another 6 hours, I got a first-class upgrade and a free ticket anywhere in the Lower 48 that UAL flies. So, 20 hours after leaving, I rolled home, where I am now on the couch watching the Newlywed Game:
Host: Gentlemen, how many automatic things are in your bedroom?
Husband: One
Wife's Answer: Zero
Husband: But the vaccuum is automatic. It runs.
Wife: Not by itself!
Kim's wedding was so much fun, with fabulous music, a friendly and fascinating crowd (with many "small world" moments), delicious tropical food and drinks, and tons of Hawai'ian flowers. Friends of Kim could see her personality showing throughout the four days of events--she wasn't doing things just because the wedding planner thought it was a good idea. Most touching was the mix of Hawai'ian, Christian, and Jewish tradition at the ceremony.
