Hey Bakers... How were your flights? | And 2 travel tips.

Jess and I with her Mom and Step Dad Greg in Pittsburgh.

We landed on Thursday in Honolulu.  Jess' mom and step dad Greg took us to Pittsburgh Wednesday night before we flew out... 

The Details You Want To Know | Hawaii 2013

We got dinner at the famous Primanti Brothers.  Then we stayed in a motel that had a shuttle to the airport for our 7am flight.  Jess got a few hours of sleep in the motel.  I stayed up the whole night hoping that would help get me on schedule for beating jet lag, and hoping that I could just take the two long flights asleep.  I barely slept on either flight.  

Travel Tips 
1.  Travel with ear plugs if you want to sleep.  
2.  Buy food at the airport and take it with you on the plane. Make sure that it will travel well and take it on your long flight, it will be cheaper and more filling that what they offer you in flight.  Or you could be super prepared and pack something from home.  

I snapped this photo with you in mind, this was near the end of our flight.  

The second flight I played this annoying game with the guy behind me.  Every time I put my head back against my seat I would hit his hand with my head.  I would think that after the first time he would have learned... but it continued for the whole 7 hour flight from Phoenix to Honolulu.  Jess said he was an elderly man whose back probably hurt and had to lean forward.  Having had back problems in the past, I can sympathize, but it was still a shock every time I put my head back and would hit his hand.  

We're off to work in 10 minutes.  Jess is going to be trained in the office today, and I'm going to help the other staff with some base clean up before the DTS students arrive later this week!  

I'll post next about our first few days in Hawaii.
