AC 34 on April 18 - Divert to Honolulu.

So here's a new one.

When they turn around the plane in Sydney the ground crew forgets to empty the septic system (or whatever you'd call it on a plane). So halfway over the Pacific the toilets stop working as the tanks fill up. Eventually they do the math and realize that the toilets will all be full long before we get to Vancouver. So they announce a diversion to HNL and start dumping fuel. When we land, we are down to just two functioning toilets, one in the very front and another in the back.

They say we will be on the ground for about 30 minutes. I'm a bit skeptical but we shall see! We landed at 11:20 PM Hawaii time.
