Aloha everybody, here I am in Honolulu!!!
After 9 hours and 20 minutes of flight, I landed in Hawaii. My flight (DL 1273) had a two hours delay: there was an oil leak on the left engine of the plane in Atlanta. So we had to deplane and wait for a new aircraft (a B767-400 ER). During the flight, I was sitting next to a Chinese lady living in NYC. She had to go to Hawaii for the funeral of her brother-in-law, a colonel of the US Army. We have talked a lot, it is nice to have a nice seatmate!
Concerning the flight itself: it was quite bumpy at certain times, and the food was decent (chicken as usual, I bet delta own a whole plant full of chicken ready to be served to passengers). This time, I can proudly announce that I had 27 peanuts in my little peanut bag! Well, the flight was long, so I tried to find a scientific activity (i.e. Determine what is the average number of peanuts found in Delta’s 12 grams peanut bags), besides sleeping or watching the three uninteresting movies (^_^). Hereafter you’ll find some pictures taken during the flight: a view from Atlanta just after take-off, landscapes with snow, and the West coast.
The airport of Honolulu is very cool, with plants everywhere! And I saw a rainbow on my way to the hotel. My room has a nice view on the mountains. I went to see the sunset on Waikiki beach. I didn’t see the wave coming since I was busy taking pictures, so my pants were completely soaked: therefore, Dear Readers, I can officially confirm that the water here is warm. Tomorrow, I’ll wear shorts…
By the way, there is currently a 11 hours time change between Brussels and Honolulu (i.e. when it’s noon in Brussels, it’s only 1AM in Hawaii).
