Leg One of 2012 Dec 31st-Jan 1

This past fall (in what was 2011) I read a book called "The Art of Travel" by Alain de Botton, and oh was it the book for me!  I mean, that book had everything I wanted to hear!  The below quote realizes that.  Listen, we all want inspiration, no not want but require.  And "The Art of Travel" was the inspiration for me.

Journeys are the midwives of thought~Alain de Botton

     I am on a trip.  Although, the act of putting a scarf in front of my face demonstrates my grumpy, uncooperativeness towards the photographer (my dad), I am nevertheless a happy camper-make that happy traveler.  Here is a timeline of the first day of traveling.


DEC 31st (last day of the year before the world ends)
2:30 am
goes to sleep after watching a documentary on the West Boro Baptist (hate) Church
3:30 am 
wakes up to people stirring down the stairs running to and fro making all sorts of rackets!
3:35 am 
decides to get up because "I will not let my lack of sleep make me grumpy and ruin the excite of today, I am finally leaving North America!"
4:00 am 
finally leave the house and my kitties (i don't want to go...)
5:00 am 
get to airport and endure my dad's overexcitedness of taking too many pictures of the airport (i mean we haven't even got on the plane yet and the memory card is half full)
6:00 am 
on the small plane to O'Hare Chicago
7:00 am 
touch down in Chicago
8:00 am To 11 am 
wait for 10 am flight which turns into waiting for 10 am flight which turns into waiting for 11 am flight which turns into watching little cousin play with a little boy...proud when he shows the little boy a magic card trick and the little boy's dad responds with, "that is very cool," in a very sincere voice.
4 pm (Hawaii time now) 
Get off a plane in Honolulu, Hawaii.  Glad to be off the plane that I've been on for 8 hours. I'M FINALLY OUT OF NORTH AMERICA! 
5 pm 
Don't know why I'm so happy to be out of North America and all of its four seasons.  Who needs four seasons when you have warm and breezy island weather? Huh? who?
