Day 1 + 2: Planes and the Heat

Nearly 9 hours of plane travel after waking up at 4:30 in the morning and I am in Hawaii. I hate flying, for the record. At least I got to watch Stardust twice and another movie that I think was called "The Ultimate Gift" or something along those lines. We waited at LAX between flights for about four hours, eating crappy pizza at a place called Wolfgang Pucks. I managed to sneak a bit of sleep while we waited. After arriving in Hawaii we went to visit Karl and Kristin (I don't know how to spell their names) and their kids, while we waited for my brother and his fiance to arrive. I had some awesome sushi (Teriyaki Chicken Rolls, California Rolls, Flying Fishes Egg Rolls, Salmon Rolls, Ahi Tuna Rolls) and some not bad beer, I believe it was called Rogue, or something. We eventually picked up my brother and sister-to-be-in-a-few-months and headed to the condo we're renting. Before picking them up though we went into a grocery store to get chips and water. It's weird to see Lays and Doritos in different packaging. On the plus side however, they have orange fanta here, Hurrah! I have decided I'm happy to be in Hawaii, despite missing Paul's party (thats right, it's a bloody party not a BBQ), because it is generally warmer outside of buildings then inside them. Anyway, I've been awake for about 24 hours, I'm fucking tired, and I still need to figure out how to set up this bloody futon.
Good night you poor chilly bastards.
