Well here we are in Hawaii. Actually in the waiting area for our flight to Kona on go! airline. This area has really lived up to its name today. Lots of people just like us are waiting. And waiting. And waiting. And playing cards and video games, texting, computing, playing tag with their kids and anything else that will pass the time and keep everyone sane. Flights have been cancelled and delayed because of an equipment failure. When you only have a few planes and one of them breaks, it really messes things up.
After we wrestled our way through security and settled in, we found out that our 5:30 flight was delayed to 7:55, then 8:30. About an hour after we settled in I found out that there is another Kona flight delayed until 7:30 and asked if there was room on it. There was, and they rebooked us and said they are moving our one checked bag, so we have our fingers crossed.
When we got here, there was one little refrigerated snack stand with lots of drinks, one sandwich and one salad. We grabbed the sandwich and a tiny bag of chips ($11+). It’s been two hours and the salad, not surprisingly, is still there.
O’s mini power strip, plugged in to one of the only visible outlets in the gate area, has managed to make lots of new friends. And as you can see, we have coughed up the money for an internet connection.
