Off on the next adventure....

Well, the summer is cruising along and we are off on our next adventure! We arrived in Vancouver at 430 pm with all four of us. Only mishap was the boys leaving their backpacks at the Starbucks and Darren running back 30 gates to retrieve them...
Getting on our connecting flight and more updates later.....

July 28th

When we got on the plane, I sat beside a lady and immediately struck up a conversation. Her name was Elaine and she was going to Hawaii for 5 weeks for some closure. 
In getting into a conversation, she revealed that her husband has died a month ago in a freak climbing accident falling 80 feet off a cliff. 
The strange thing was that he was an experienced climber and had been around the world several times climbing anything and everything. 
We talked for a good hour about her life and 4 grown kids, all strong Mormon people who attended BYU(including the Hawaii campus). Such a sad and distraught reason to be going to Hawaii but I felt that she really needed to talk about it. She had a couple of rough weeks coming up returning to the scene of the accident and dealing with everything. 
Her kids are all coming sporadically over the next month to spend time with her (she's only 55). 
After watching a few tv shows before the satellite went down, I went to the washroom. On the floor lay 2 boarding passes with the name Moroz on it. WEIRD!
Alexa in seat 25c must have dropped them. I delivered them and struck up a conversation with the mom. They are from Calgary and her dad is from the Yorkton area so I'm pretty sure our Grandparents were first cousins. Crazy! 
It was weird chasing the sun as it never ever got dark. It was bright and sunny the whole evening!
Kids finally went to sleep at 1030/630. Arrived in Honolulu at 930(130am). Raining a bit so grabbed a cab to our hotel. Streets were hopping with people   
200 locals on every type of bicycle imaginable riding down the street. Got the kids to bed and time for some shut eye. 242am Calgary time but 1042 Hawaii time. It's been a hell of a long first day.....
