EMAIL FROM DANA, JUNE 2013

Hi!

I'm sitting in SFO eating Clam Chowder. They have wifi and charging hubs here, so I don't mind waiting.

The plane ride from Guam actually passed by really quickly, I fell asleep before we even finished boarding and kept on sleeping for half the flight.

The breakfast they woke me up for was horrendous. And I mean, worse than usual. Makes me sick just thinking about it, but there was a really nice old lady from Saipan sitting next to me.

I don't know if she was trying too take care of me, or me of her, but in the end I filled our her customs form because she couldn't see without her glasses.

She told me I was a very good friend.

Hawaii's airport was gross and primitive, four of us waiting for the SFO flight ended up sharing a power strip that one guy brought because only one outlet was working.

A lady sitting next to me at the gate gasped in shock when I told her you had to pay for the wifi. She said, and I quote, "I guess we'll just eat."

Then she explained that in Hawaii, if all else fails, eat.

I had a half finished burger beside me and realised she was right.

I slept through the entire flight from Hawaii to San Fransisco. I was kind of worried about aneurisms, but I was in a window seat with two 'taller than me' people beside me. They were from Canada, and I didn't want to bother them too much so I only got up once.

Anyway, I'm here now, and in two hours I'll be boarding my next flight to Portland.

It's two and a half hours, so I'm going to run around the airport and try to get my feet from freezing so much during flights.

Ciao!

Dana
