Day 13:
I was going to go to the Polynesian Cultural Center tonight. I was going to revisit the Arizona. I was going to attempt an illegal ascent of the"permanently closed" Stairway to Heaven trail. But alas, I am the lamest and I ultimately ended up doing none of those things. What did I do instead? Lazed around the house, read a little, napped on the beach, ate quesadillas at North Shore Tacos, the whole while trying to pretend that I never saw that meme about Glenn on the Internet. I'm practically a resident of Oahu now.
Aside from endlessly getting lost in my head not much happened today. I drive down Kamehameha Highway leaned back with one finger resting on the bottom of the steering wheel. It circles the entire island. You head in one direction for a couple hours and before you know it you're back where you started. It's like the universe!
There are little kids trick or treating outside. I am hiding in my room, a favorite pastime of mine.
On the morrow I will meet "the one I will marry," because "it's almost like it's meant to be!" as Lori (the mother of the family I am staying with) has been explaining to me the coincidences and shear luck of how all of these certain events have played out to bring me and my future wife together. I chuckle heartily,"one step at a time."
I did notice something that made me facepalm today. My flight leaves Monday from Honolulu at 12:25 pm. That is around noon. Not midnight. I have a layover in Portland, Oregon. I get there at 8 pm Monday night. My flight to SLC is at 12:30... That would be pm, as well. The next day! I have more than fifteen hours to fill. I suppose I could sleep eight of those... Oh, who am I kidding? I could sleep all fifteen of those! Since I don't particularly want to become an airport Gollum(that one is going to catch on, and you all know where it originated from! Right here!) I am looking into getting a cheap room for the night, or possibly even looking up my ol' Yogi watching, accountant being, active LDS friend Randy in Eugene!
I'm not sure what I'm going to do though, yet. Actually I do. Sleep.
Goodnight.
