Postscript

We made it! We're now waiting to start our 8 hour flight to Honolulu. This is what relief looks like:

I, too, am relieved I did not have to deal with mad Lance...because nothing makes him more angry than a slamming airport door (Seattle trip - 2007).

Aloha! 

And, we are so grateful for our amazing moms who are making this all possible for us. They are the absolute best.
