Aloha, Aloha International airport

Finally, after a trip exceeding 40 hours, I was finally standing on Hawaiian ground! With "Nattbussen" from Ålesund to Oslo (9hrs) which wasn't bad at all. I was actually checking out prices on the flights from Vigra to Gardermoen, and the cheapest I found was 750 NOK, which is a good price, but since one of my best friends, Sigurd, was also planning on taking the same bus as I planned, I decided to take the bus. On the bus we met Veronica Hjertvik and Hanne Rensvik whom was going to Gran Canaria for a week. Sigurd was by the way on his way to Sessvollmoen - a military base - to "dimme". On the bus me and Sigurd planned our plans for the summer of 2008 - route 66 - crossing the states with a old school 68 Ford Mustang (or something like that!!:D).

After some good times on the bus, we parted our ways, or they left and I was still waiting 3hrs for my plane to take off. Luckily I fell asleep on the bus from Ålesund to Oslo for a couple of hours (Kvam - Lillehammer) because on the plane to London, Heathrow I couldn't sleep for a second (I'm actually abit afraid of flying - because I have no control over what happends, and if a situation was present, theres nothing I could do except sitting and waiting for Death to pick me up at 30.000ft under the sea). Anyways, same thing happened from Heathrow to L.A. couldn't sleep for more than the last hour (btw. had to run to catch the plane, 2hrs at Heathrow may seem like a lot of time, but it's not!).

When arriving in L.A. there was a lot of american paranoidity at the airport with all different security controls and forms and sh*t. The guy in the first security control got me really nervous, started of with yelling at me because I had my headset on my head (with no music of course, but he didn't care about that) and I was also carrying my laptop in my hands, and he told me to put it away, and I left it on his desk, then he yelled again and told me to put it on the floor, then he turned all mr.nice guy. So it was all good, until he asked me where I'm going to, and when I answered Honolulu, he said the worst thing a flightphobic can imagine: "So, your still flying to Honolulu even though the hurricane still isn't over?" Like I wasn't nervous enough before he started all this stuff; I really didn't need this. More running to catch the plane to Honolulu; and with some help from an airport volunteer (which I had to pay 10$ for some charity stuff - that I didn't know!). Yet another time, I didn't get any sleep because of the hurricane thing I guess, because I was dying for some sleep, but I finally made it the last hour, and with no hurricane at all in Honolulu, we landed safely and from there I took some airport shuttle to the hotel where I'm staying. Got some food, and got to sleep! Finally, I'm standing on Hawaiian ground, which I probably will be for the next years!!
