Walked down to the coffee shop and bar the other side of our gate to get some water to take my pills, and was able to get this picture of the 757 we will be in flying to Kaua’i.

Arrived extra early to SFO because of my inability to print a boarding pass online… Called United last night, and of course got some foreign call center with someone I could not understand trying to tell me I was flagged for a random security check… Could not understand him to question further, so we just decided to arrive an extra 30 minutes early…

Got to the self-check in area, and still could not print a boarding pass. A United representative had to take my photo ID back to a computer terminal to clear me… She said it was an FCC ordered identity check because of a “common name”. It has taken 10 flights over the past 21 months to get flagged as a “common name”.

Maybe there is an outstanding “Lance Williams” on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list, what do you think?!?

Anyway, now we get to wait for about an hour before boarding… (already sitting 20 minutes…) But, I was afraid of being flagged for a random TSA search, which could have taken more time…

Downloaded the pictures from the digital camera last night, and have a few minutes this morning before we have to head to the airport to catch our flight to Kauai (9:13 PDT Departure).

This is what I mean by a "really BIG tree". Even makes me look small! Over 16 feet in diameter, and 250 feet tall. Estimated age is about 2,000 years old!

Well, it’s time to get ready to move onwards… Today is Marianne’s birthday, so we are extending her day by three hours so she can celebrate longer <grin>. More to follow from the SideKick LX-2009…

Sitting in the rental car playing with the Sirius Satellite Radio… Hopefully will have a seat soon… Buzzz… Buzzz.. Time to go in and “Pepper in Some Fun!”
