I’m flying to Houston now. From there I will continue on to San Jose, Costa Rica. This is my annual Caribbean vacation where I will spend a week in a tropical place, hanging out with friends. I have a seven hour layover in Houston, but that’s okay because icanspend time with Catalina. 

For the past while, I have not had a lot of free time. First there was the trip to the Alps, followed shortly by Catalina visiting for nearly three weeks. The next weekend was Thanksgiving, which was somewhat relaxing because I spent it with my family in Priddis. But it also meant that I was unable to get ready for this trip.

Long story short: I was up until 1:00 in the morning getting ready for this trip. And I got up at 5:30 to get to my flight. Let’s be honest, I didn’t sleep very well. I think at one point I got up to try repacking something. It’s a little hazy now.

I’m also finding issues already with my preparation. I put some movies and TV shows on my iPad to watch on the flight, but I didn’t think I would need them, because United has a good inflight entertainment system where you can watch their movies on an iPad. Let me amend that though. Had. They HAD an inflight entertainment system. It appears to not be working.

I finished my first movie on my iPad, “Riddick”, which was pretty good. It was a lot more similar to his first movie and got him away from the events of the second movie fairly quickly. If you liked “Pitch Dark”, I would recommend this.

Then I went to watch some of the TV shows I had. Unfortunately, I didn’t test them beforehand, and they are all corrupt. I will not be watching them. So I only have one movie left for this entire trip.

And now the pilot has just announced a problem with the generators on board. We’re diverting to Oklahoma City. Further updates as they warrant.
