Here today, gone Maui

Slight pressure starting to keep on writing.

I am currently writing this blog after paying $6 USD an hour to use the hot spot in the San Francisco airport, waiting for my plane to head to Maui. I forgot the hotel confirmation information and I didn't want to arrive in Maui without it.

The check in this morning at YVR could not have gone any faster. I originally wanted to check in, to make sure I have a seat on the first leg of my travel, but found out that checked in passenger must immediately head to the gate. This left me without breakfast at DeDutch with my hubby.

My first flight consisted of a lot of passengers connecting to Denver, but there were a huge fuss about delays. I just checked the weather online (since I'm still paying that $6 for an hour usage) and see that there are some snow in Denver. It was encouraging to see the gate agent hard at work to sort out all the Denver customers. Although it delayed some of the boarding, but I feel safe traveling with United because of it. My last business trip was quite smooth, not seeing any of the problems my co-workers alerted me about American, until we were flying back from Dallas to Vancouver. Vancouver was experiencing a colder winter with lots of snow on the ground while I was in Florida. On the way back, the plane diverted to Seattle due to unsafe breaking conditions in Vancouver. Seattle was a mess. We waited for several hours on the plane and off the plane before they even considered arranging for hotels. Needless to say, I spent my first night in an airport. It was not the most comfortable situation to be in.

There you have it, some traveling stories. I still have about over 30 minutes left with my login and I really need to go to the bathroom.

Not to inflict any jealousy at all, but Vancouver was at around -3 degrees celsius this morning. Maui is currently at 25 degrees.
