ahh Hawaii
After your typical unhappy V-Day (I've decided that my positive attitude about Valentine's is a waste of time, I'm joining all my single friends in hating it that day), I had an excellent trip to Honolulu. Not only did I sleep on the plane, but I was upgrade (for free!) to first class on AA. For you flyer geeks, that meet real international business class seats on AA 767s! Got an upgrade on the car (still an icky pontiac, but its big, with CD player, etc). I had to turn down the offer for a free upgrade to a Mustang Converible (I was supposed to rent the big car, and I figured that was too small). The hotel is pretty nice, snagged an upgrade to a kitchenette, and a sleeper sofa, but lost the ocean view (I wanted in the nicer tower, and for the other stuff, it was worthwhile). So, I love the weather, its warm and comfortable. We went to the Sands hotel for cocktails on the beach. Then we bought supplies for breakfast today (and I got Mauna Loa cookies). I made my first real breakfast in a while (a year????). Ok, people are almost done showering, so its almost time to hit the best... only 9am here (love that 5 hour time difference). I'm ready to embarass myself again with surfing attempts..
