Kauai

Yesterday we arrived in Kauai, HI for 2 weeks. It was raining, but it is so lush and beautiful here. The flight was mostly uneventful, some turbulence at times, but went fast. About 30 minutes before landing a man in First Class created a turmoil, not sure if he was drunk, off his medications, or drank with medications when he shouldn't have, but he wouldn't sit down, walked into the flight attendants area and wouldn't cooperate, he hit 2 attendants, then several big men ran forward and subdued him. There was a pilot in the back of the plane (just traveling) who came forward to assist, they got the man handcuffed, but they had to practically sit on him to get him down in the seat, then they tied him in. Two men stayed there to keep him in place. We were in row 6, so I could see everything. Another man from First Class came to sit with us, told us the man had been drinking during the whole flight. When you are in the air, it is a little scarier, because one never knows what another person will do. But I'm glad to see so many men who were on the aisle seats ran forward to help. H was by the window so he couldn't get up fast enough.

This morning it was cloudy when we first got up, but since then has gotten sunny, even with no sun, it is too beautiful to stay inside, so I am off to take some pictures.
