Yay, Hawaii!

Yay for people scheduling conferences in Hawaii so grad students can spend a week in Honolulu.  Sure, it's for work but at least it's a nice location and hopefully I can get some sun while there.  I just booked tonight for later in the spring.

I really don't like flying and I'm not looking forward to the long flights at all.

Re: Yay, Hawaii!

  • OMG Stacey that is so awesome!!  Can I hide in your suitcase???  Big Smile

  • Sure, Jen, you just pay the extra bag fee.

    I usually fly short flights on Southwest and I had no idea airlines aren't giving food any more.  I have a 9 hour flight with no food.

  • Yay, that is so exciting! I'm jealous and wish my work was sending me there! Lucky you!

    Yes, the long flight isn't fun, ours from LA to Tahiti was 8 hours. Is Hawaii around 6 or is it just as long? If you're flying overnight, I really suggest taking some Benadryl or something. I had a horrible time "sleeping" and was basically up the entire time watching the ocean move by at a snail pace on the map and flipping between movies.?

  • Wow, that's fantastic! Good for you :)  Nothing makes a long flight more worth it than a great destination.  Have fun!

    Flights and prices are so weird, they wanted us to take flights that had two stops each way. I was able to decent ones with only one stop after much searching, but the only option for return is overnight flights. I'm not looking forward to that because I don't sleep on planes and I can't read or do work. Hawaii is 6 and LA to DC is another 5, but the long flight is TX to HI for almost 9 hours. I'm going to need to take a vacation day to recover when I return.

  • Yay for conferences!  I miss those days.  You will have to skip out on sessions to doing some sight seeing Devil

    People at work usually fly the TX to HI flight, it isn't that bad.  They will probably offer to sell you expensive box meals.  That is what they did on our last flight, so be prepared to pack.  

  • Thanks Denise, I will definitely plan on packing food.

    I totally plan on sight seeing, even if it makes me a bad student, I can't take that many talks in a day any way.Smile  You'll have to let me know what I should go do there.

    No, I don't think so.  I wish he could though because I would have a way better time with him and wouldn't be so bored flying alone.

  • Wow, that is so awesome Stacey!!  I would LOVE to go to Hawaii sometime. 

    I'm the same way about flying...I hate it!  Our flight to Aruba was torture.  I get real sick if I read or do anything so I just sit there and TRY to sleep. 

  • totally jealous!

    Have a great time. Paradise
