Christmas DAY in hawaii.

left vegas on christmas morning @ about 2:40 Pacific time and arrived in Honolulu @ 6:30 a.m. Hawaii time. Flight took about 5:40min. Tossed and turned a bit. at one point, the flight attendant announced that we were about to land.
"Alright Hawaiian airline passengers, we are just about to land in Las vegas Mcarran International aiport, fold your tray tables and bring your seats back to its original position."
I woke up and thought about what she said like, wtf, did she say 'Las Vegas'? she must've made a mistake. Then she said.
"ok now, every one is awake, Merry Christmas cuz we are landing in the Honolulu International Airport." all the passengers just laughed. she did catch us for the most part though.
So we landed, got my bags, hopped into dad's van and already mom and dad was joking about everything brushing up on what I missed. Oh I miss that feeling. I got home and decided to take a pic of the neighbors plants. came out pretty on the camera but its not actually that nice in person or should i say in Plant?

Family tradition is to gamble at each party. I used to view this as a negative thing, but now being older, my dad knew that I knew how to play. So he bought me in @ $20 and I started going against the party members. Sad to say, it was actually fun because we just bonded and talked story at the table. Joked around about our cards and stuff.

As the night went on and the Island breezes flowed through the air, I embraced everything that went on around me. My dad is a fkn character, my mom is a softee, and i see a little image of me in my sister growing up. I sit back and realize we are all getting older and time is flying by really quickly. I think about my life in vegas and ask myself how much more will I have to deal with it. There are some things that i can't let go over there. It just constantly runs through my mind as I let it dwell and sit not knowing the answers. But this is my Christmas day in Hawaii nei!
