Hello everyone. I finally made it home. The Four Points sold my 5am arrival room since there were 3 flight cancellations at LAX on Sunday night. I was in no mood to argue and just drove home where I have been sleeping every since.

The Balinese upgrade God came through for me on the DPS-GUM segment, which was a good thing since the flight was full. I had to pay $60 for overstaying my visa. And the lounge had some sort of room freshener which made me sick so I spent most of my wait outside chancing more mosquito bites, but I fared well.

The flight from DPS-GUM was a nightmare. First of all the secondary screening at the gate, they took away all of my matches including two books of paper matches. I asked for the supervisor and he told me that it was a TSA rule. I told him to go to the website and check the rules, since I am allowed four books of paper matches. The plane was waiting for me and I told the FO to back me up on this and all he wanted was my email so that he could check later and tell me the rules. My last words in this were, "how the hell did I get these cheap paper matches through LAX, HNL and GUM?".
I was in 2B and people were allowed to come up front to use the lav. All of a sudden a japanese girl came up and vomited right in front of me in the galley. I walked back to the rear galley where two bozo doctors were trying to get the plane to divert for the other two medical emergencies. None life-threatening. We landed in GUM where I almost missed my connection. Life is good in 2D on the 764 to HNL where I spent my time drinking cappuccinos trying to stay away. Oh, and this flight also had a medical emergency in the back. I got pulled over for a secondary custom screening at HNL, but this time he only looked through my purse. That always happens to me in HNL.

So, I want to say a big thank you to all you. And, there are a few of you that I didn't get the chance to say goodbye. But, I will be there next year!
