Chad and I arrive at Newark Airport 2 hours early, only to discover that our flight is delayed by 2 hours. Normally this would send Chad into a tailspin, but thanks to years of saving amex points, Chad and I are proud owners of first class tickets. First class tickets= continental lounge.
And so we began our 'honeymoon' in the 'movie theater' room of the continental lounge, with Chad watching ESPN and me writing thank you notes and reading. Just like home.
Other than spending 10 hours on an airplane, there is nothing much to report today. Chad's spent the first 2 hours of the flight grappling with the fact that there was no Direct TV on this jalopy of an aircraft, and that he would be forced to watch what he later described as "movies so bad that he doesn't even remember what happened". At 9:45pm, my usual bedtime, I slipped on my eyemask and logged a good 3 hours of sleep, which put a nice dent in our 10 hour flight.
We now represent approximately 50% of the population of the Continental Lounge in Honolulu. It is almost 3am in NY, making it god knows what time locally. Shortly, we'll board our 7 hour flight to Fiji, for which Chad has made big promises to medicate himself (after a long and sleepless journey to Hawaii). Chad is watching Sports Center, and I have found free wine. All is well!
UNTIL FIJI!
Goodnight all!
