Hurry Up and Wait

Time to pack the suitcases, tuck the souvenirs into the carry-on bag, re-charge the electronic devices and accessories, grab the reading materials in preparation of a long flight, and keep the passport handy for check-in at the airport.  Then “hurry up and wait” for the rental car return process, checked luggage, security clearance, and one final stop at the terminal restroom. After all, the first leg of our return journey is a five-hour flight to San Francisco. 


(By the time we arrive in Indianapolis, after making connections all night long, jet lag will begin to set in. Although it is a natural process the body goes through, a simple guideline is expect things to normalize about one time-zone per day.) 

On the other hand, long flights give you the luxury of reflection and rejuvenation. I love thinking about the Hawaiian culture, the pace of life, the breath-taking scenery, the delicious food, the lively music, the new friends. It’s as though each experience opened another door in our lives.  I guess I’m ready to go back home. The best part of all is—the entire time my husband has been by my side, and we’re traveling this road together.  Mahalo!

  1. There is no one I would rather have with me in this road we travel other than you. I must state, that Jesus Christ is a given traveler with us both, of course. Other wise how could our travels together be so terrific and wonderful. Thank you Jesus.
    Love Always, your hubby.
