We tried everything, including pleading with gate staff, ticket staff, and United Customer Service. Ten hours later, we were still at SFO. We finally gave up and re-ticketed for a departure on Monday.

We missed our flight out of SFO and United had overbooked all
other flights to Hawaii. We waited on stand-by. Here is
Don, doing his best standing-by: a cup of tea (with herbs)
and a carton of yogurt close at hand.

| We arrived two days late for the couples' retreat and Body Electric decided that was too late for us to join the others. However, we did take a trip to see the fresh lava oozing out of the latest crater about 15 miles away. We arrived at the site just at sunset. |

| Don, with the sunset and the lava flow in the background. |
|
| Lava, about as close as I want to get to it. |
|
| Don and I threw flowers on the lava as an offering to Pele. His burst into flames before it even reached the flow. Mine lay on the molten rock and withered slowly. |
