The Travel Gods Hate Me

So I'm back in SFO waiting for my flight to Maui... again...

Woke up at 4:00 this morning to give plenty of time to catch my 7:40 flight to Portland. Get on the plane, approach the runway, then the captain says we have to add more fuel because the fog in Portland may cause them to have to circle the airport (so they didn't have enough fuel for this contingency before... great). The refueling process of course took about an hour and a half. I didn't get to Portland until 11 and my flight to OGG (maui) was at 10:15. So instead they give me the wonderful option: Fly back to SFO, then to HOnolulu, then to OGG. I should be arriving in Maui at 9:30 Hawaii time, or 12:30 San Francisco time. Ugh.

I'm pretty sure it will all be worth it in the end...

Sorry - you lost to Josh on the "extra miles I flew to get to Maui" contest. ;-)

you're going to maui. get there any way possible, row boat, swim, fly thru a dozen connecting flights. It'll be worth it.
