Lantern

A camping lantern in Hawaii

I was going to post here about how our power was back on and so it’s time to stow the battery-powered lantern that was our chief source of light these last few days. However, a new system looks like it’s forming in the central Pacific and it has the potential to reprise the events of last weekend. So I think I’ll keep the lantern handy, just in case.

Reflecting on flight delays

Reflections in a window at Honolulu airport in Hawaii

These are the kind of photos you take when flights are delayed. Last week, our flight to Honolulu was delayed for 20 minutes because only one runway was operating at our destination due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. Coming back, the flight was delayed twice for reasons that were never explained. The upshot was that, after getting up at 5:30am to make the outbound flight, it was close to 11:00pm before we got home again!
