Heaven on Earth

294

wow, what a long flight from HNL to SFO. i get on my united flight and couldn’t believe how small my seat was. i was in economy and the flight was full. no leg room, no elbow room, and no flat seat. i was so tried and wanted to sleep but couldn’t. 5 hours later, i’m getting off the flight with a stiff neck, sore back, and no sleep. Kyle told me “welcome back to the real world.” haha. i thought to myself “i don’t like the real world anymore.” haha. just joking. i just don’t remember the seats being so small. but here at San Fran airport waiting to get on another small seat to Los Cabo. hopefully i’ll get some sleep.
traveling with a cool Red Sea group. feeling relaxed, no stress, and everybody anxious to get into the water. it’s a long trip there, but once we do our first dive, it will all be worth it.

checking in is always weird at the airport with a case full of spearguns. when they ask, never say gun! say fishing gear. the lady that checked me in was really nice. she kept on calling me “love.” and i felt loved. that’s the aloha we have here in hawaii. nowhere else in the world.

and if this is what heaven looks like, i can’t wait to get there. nature stuff like this fascinates me. makes me want to jump out of the airplane.

we land in SFO earlier and i watch as one of our spear cases opened on the flight. hopefully they put it all back. we shall see.
well, going to board the flight. be in mexico in 3 hours. then a 2 hour drive to where we will stay. stay tuned for photos! viva mexico!
