Hi Everyone, Just got up and showered after my first sleep in Australia, and am feeling great. Let me update you on the rest of the travel fiasco, and then what I did yesterday! We got picked up from our hotel in Honolulu at 7:30pm, and got to the airport, grabbed a bite, got on our flight, all as planned. We were lucky enough to get a new plane this time, with everyone having their own TV, power ports, etc. Erin and I were sat together in the exit row, which was really nice.
