I spent all day yesterday traveling from Memphis to Atlanta to Seattle to Honolulu, and the experience was a grisly reminder of how much I despise air travel.
As I got off the plane in Honolulu, I expected to be presented with a lei just like in all those 70s TV shows whenever people like Starsky & Hutch made a trip to Hawaii. But apparently they don't do that anymore, maybe because a trip to Hawaii is no longer the sort of once-in-a-lifetime luxury it was back then.
But my cousin Jimmy and his family saved the day! When I arrived at baggage claim, there were Leah and James to give me hugs and hang a flowery wreath around my neck. This trip just might be a success after all. Photo by Jimmy Matthews.
