Hawaii?

DirecTV has kept Brian so busy lately. It is NFL season and they are offering some great deals. Brian has been working crazy hours. It is busy everywhere, some places there is a long wait to even get an installer to your house. One of those places in Hawaii, apparently the wait is 4 weeks for an install. So DirecTV asked for volunteers to go to Hawaii for 3 weeks to help get them caught up. Brian volunteered and he was chosen! Yay! I never thought that would happen. Anyway, I got to thinking, what if I went too? There are pros and cons, and I still don't know what to decide.

It was our 10th anniversary this year. That would be an awesome trip for the big 10. Brian's flight is already paid for. Since he is working crazy hours out there, it doesn't seem like a good idea to go while he works during the day, I would be there all by myself mostly. Plus, he is sharing a hotel with some other guy. Wierd. So, what I'd like to do is have him change his flight home to 3 days later and I would fly out and spend those days with him. Sounds so fun! BUT, Delta airlines is being difficult. They want so much money for a flight change fee that it almost isn't even worth it. We would spend so much just changing his flight that we could just fly out some other time that's more convenient.

The other thing holding me back is my fear of flying. I hate it. Full on panic attack hate it. It is not so much the flying itself. I don't have claustophobia or anything. I just have this wierd fear that my house is going to disappear while I am gone. I realize it is irrational, but it is a strong enough fear that I almost don't want to do it. But I can't let the crazy win. So, I really should go to Hawaii, right? When else is something like this going to come up? We are going to keep trying to get Delta to change his flight for a more reasonable amount of money. If that happens, then I am going. If not, then maybe another time.

Canoe surfing looks so fun!

you should totally do it! (well, if it's too expensive to change the flight, you def should go soon) and spend more than 3 days. You need at least a week to fully enjoy Hawaii. I've been there twice and really, 3 days is just enough to make you angry you aren't staying longer :D
and just have someone house sit. Then you'll be taken good care of! I hope you get to go. you deserve it!

That's okay! Not at all a good idea. Worldly things, don't push yourself so much. It's still U.S.! But if you do get on an airplane come see the family here PLEASE> I think it's been about 4 years,
So nice you to hear your family is so busy! Us too, Company here working on new projects and the girls have private school.
