OK I'm done packing and I'm going to take a nap. The great Hawai'i adventure will begin in rather poor form with me waking up at about 3:00am to drive down to ABQ and getting on a 7:00am flight. Boo. The next exciting adventure will be changing airlines in Phoenix (which means getting my luggage and re-checking it) without a lot of time to spare. It might work. All of this was done in the interest of cheap tickets. But hey, should my bag not make the transfer in time... I survived a week in backwoods Kazakhstan with no luggage, I'm sure I can handle a day in Hawai'i. :)
And then, it's fun in the sun with Nina for 12 days. Very excited.
Due to grad school commitments, Nina's going to have to bring her computer and do some work while we're there. The bright side of this is that I will likely have access to the intornet and can post some photos and banal commentary while she's working.
Manta rays, lava, huge telescopes. That's all I'm saying for now.
It's Hawai'ian law that you check all of your consonants when you depart the lower-48.
...I realize this is the second consonant-related joke I've made recently. Bite me.
Did I ever tell you about my idea for a Hawaiian version of Wheel Of Fortune? There's only 7 consonants, and vowels are infinitely more valuable... so I think it could make the game more challenging. Or more silly, whichever happens first.
Don't we have the same video card?
No, you see
... you jump to conclusions
