well i would like ot say everything went smoothly, but it was quite the opposite. i arrived at the airport about 5:45. went to the security gate with my printout. they wouldn;t let me pass, i needed a boarding pass. so i go to the counter. no one is there, i go back to security, 100ft away. they are still checking people in. they send me back to the check in to wait.
st this point i kinda freak out! i start banging on thier bell. no one to be seen. i jump the counter and bang on the door! finally i yell "HELP ME!" at the door. realise the futality and sit down on the luggage part of the desk. the airport cop comes runnin tward me from around the corner. and comes up to me and tells me if i don't calm down and stop scareing the others that he is going to have to do something about it. i compose myself, and begin to accept it as i come to trarms that i am going to miss my flight. something i have worked twards for a year and a half. i listen to the rest of the passangers go through security, the plane lands, be deboards, boards passangers. and still i wait. after 40 min, the door finally opens and 2 women emarge. they tell me i missed my flight (DUH!) and i can fly out sat at 6:50am. un acceptable, i have to be in meetings tonight and all day sat.ok how about you give us $1100 and we fix it
i go to leave and the guard comes to check on me, after ive been waiting on my wife for 5min. says "everyone says you smell like booze and pot." i telll him ok what ever, ust another addition to a crappy day. (i smelled like musk and cigars) tell him im watin for my wife for a ride, pretty much f-off. go home and begin 4hrs of calls.
i call Hawaii, i call cali. i call everyone i have a # to. about 10:30 i get a call back and begin to work things out.
i have an awesome agent nancy and linda at world wide travel! they got my ticket moved around, i flew out at 1, had long rushed changes on flights, but finally landed in Hawaii around 9pm.
i got picked up by an reletave i hadn't seen in 10yrs, and i don't remember, but he turned out cool. gave me a ride to my hotel. i went right in to meetings, where i stayed til 1am. have more meetings starting at 10am and i still need to print out copies of my report for the BOD.
although i did walk a block down to the beach and dip my feet in the ocean.
i don't beleve i really made it! im here! i thought my trip was over before it ever began! i swar i listened to the plane take off w/o me as i was pulling back into my house.
this morning, life sucked so bad. well it shure as heck dosen't suck now!
as i write this i am sitting in the top (14th) floor of a hotel, looking out over Honolulu. on the balcony, enjoyin life!

nobody warned me about the ladies of the night, that constantly harass you as you walk down the street.
