Early Rising

There wasn't much sleep on Sunday night as we had to get up at 2:30 a.m. to catch the 5 a.m. flight out of Fargo on Monday morning. There were eight of us going to the wedding that left from Fargo. We were thinking that we should give you a little background about why Kaycee and I are going to this wedding. Shelby and Kaycee were roommates when Kaycee first moved to the Fargo area. Kaycee and my son, Shane shared a house in Moorhead with Shelby and her brother, Jeremy. It could have have a great sitcom...Two Guys and Their Sister! Kaycee and Shelby continue to be very good friends.


Once in Minneapolis about six more wedding goers joined us. We had about an hour layover and then caught a flight to Salt Lake City. When the flight attendance heard about Shelby and Chad's wedding fiasco, she announced, over the intercom, that Shelby and Chad were headed to Maui to get married after changing all their wedding plans in the last three days! One of the flight attendants made them hand shaken drinks to celebrate.

In Salt Lake City we had about a two hour layover and then we were off on the 6 hour and 20 minute flight to Maui. The time actually went pretty fast as we each had small tv screens in front of us and we could watch a variety of TV shows or movies or listen to music. We arrived in Maui about 2:30 p.m. Hawaiian time. That is 7:30 p.m. North Dakota time. As we are writing this blog we have been up over 24 hours.
