WOOOOOO!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed, we will have to meet another time.

Indeed we shall. Find your local TV station and tell them to buy some software from me, then I can come and install it in Honolulu.

My brother just approached a friendly looking queue-monitoring dude at the barriers and waved boarding passes at him and explained and the guy said he'd let us through. So my brother waved at me, I gathered up the parents and husband, and we walked down and the guy let us in, one at a time, into the front of different queues. Unfortunately (for them) the people behind us (queuing for a flight due to leave in about three hours or so) thought they'd got in on our wee game of queue-jumping and followed us down only to be told to get back in the queue upon production of their not-terribly-urgent boarding passes. The queue in which they'd now lost their places.

by the way in case anyone is wondering, the current terror alert level is:

ORANGE

xposts

Can you just pretend you've not heard the call though, sit and drink, then go "whoops, silly me" and get let into the front of the queue though? We only did it because the silly mare on the BA check-in desk wouldn't check us in on standby seats until the check-in closed even though there were stacks of empty seats on the flight.

also yay for gr8080's boarding pass

Indeed, this has been by strategy. xpost

That's a brilliant strategy, and one I may try in future, to the wrath of everyone else in the queue. There is nothing more embarrassing than being the last person on a plane when everyone else is settled though, and everyone glaring at you because they know fine well they'd have got an early take-off slot if you hadn't been fannying around elsewhere.

so jetlagged

I'm in an airport, waiting for the Delta Shuttle, and there's this weird lounge filled with Apple computers and no one is in here and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be in here.

I'm not in an airport, I am in a tent just outside and airport waiting to get let into an airport.

An hour and a half to drop bags and then a last minute gate change from one end of the airport to the other. We'll be at least an hour late departing and there is no catering within quater of a mile of this gate, bah.

HI DERE.

Chilling at LAX. No earlier OC flight home than 6:11 pm, so I'm considering Encounter for a bit.

isn't encounter like a spiderwork of iron death right now?

what the hell is encounter??

LAX's semi-esteemed ca. 1970s Jetsons-inspired eatery/bar

there were eleven types of scaffolding up around the pylons i flew out on the 17th

encounter looks cool!

Encounter is very very cool. (Ended up not going, but while the outside's still being redone, the bar itself is open again.)

the name is so... touchy-feely.

I wouldn't go that far.

I like the open-air building style of OGG (plus the fact that the airport code is OGG)

Checked out Encounter a couple weeks ago and am glad to see that it's back in business (and that the food has improved too!)

pronounced [lɑːnɑʔi]) is the sixth-largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is also known as the Pineapple Island because of its past as an island-wide pineapple plantation. The only town is Lānaʻi City, a small settlement. The island is somewhat comma-shaped, with a width of 18 miles in the longest direction. The land area is 140.5 square miles (364 km²), making it the 42nd largest island in the United States.[3] It is separated from the island of Molokaʻi by the Kalohi Channel to the north, and from Maui by the ʻAuʻau Channel to the east. The United States Census Bureau defines Lānaʻi as Census Tract 316 of Maui County. Its total population was 3,193 as of the 2000 census.[4]. Many of the island's landmarks and sites are located off of dirt roads where four wheel drive is required.
