First blog of 2024. 

HHR (Hard Hitting Reporter):  What  did you send out earlier this week?  Do you need help telling the date? The year?

Debbie:  Yes, technically it was written in 2024 but took place in 2023.  I really don’t need your help.  When have you ever fact checked anything before?

HHR:  Where is Larry?  I am sure that he wants to know that I am here.

Debbie:  Well, if you had asked then you would know that Larry did not go on this trip.

HHR: So you went to Hawaii alone?  Don’t you dislike getting up early or being around lots of people?  Have you had any issues? Soo, how is your trip?

Debbie:  We don’t need to talk about those details.  My flight went to Honolulu and then I was scheduled to go to Lihue on Kauai.  But when I got to Honolulu, none of the monitors showed my flight number.  I landed in terminal G and thought that I needed to go to terminal A.  I started to trot to the terminal.  I could have taken a bus outside but didn’t see anyone and this is Hawaiian time.

HHR:  I saw it but wouldn’t call it a trot. I started to call someone to help you.

Debbie:  My story so it was a trot.  There were no airline employees anywhere in the corridor or at the desks.  It was deserted except for passengers wandering around looking for gates.  I was worried that I was going to miss my connection.   I kept trotting.

HHR:  Are you in Honolulu?  I am sure that Larry would have known what to do.

Debbie:  Yes, he would have trotted beside me and followed my directions.  I called United and they told me it was at Gate A14 which I had been to before but still no United or Hawaiian air flight on the monitors.  So I reversed trotted back to A14.  I was able to find a Japanese Airline Flight to Lihue.  By the time that I got to A14 there was an announcement about the flight.  Most of the passengers were wandering aimlessly looking for the flight.  We finally found an agent loading the flight from a hidden area.

HHR:  Is it true that trotting  makes you cranky?

Debbie:  Yes and other things and/or people.

HHR:  Did you make your connection?

Debbie:  Yes, I was happy to land in Lihue, find my ride awaiting, and hear the melodic sounds of chickens cackling.
