Blah, blah, blah...major hurricane is coming.

Wait! Whatt!?

I had just landed in Honolulu when I first learned about the Category 5 hurricane that was about to hit the islands. Come on! I knew about the volcano eruption on the Big Island but now hurricane? This kinda changed things.

But it didn't change my first priority. Chicken katsu at L&L. Yum!

I had envisioned the start of my vacation within vacation a bit differently. Camping on the beach. Chilling hard. Lots of sun.

Instead, I was in lockdown because of Hurricane Lane. At the Marriott. Sipping Mai Tais. Sleeping on a bed.

The horror.

Surprises happen. Plans don't go according to plan, so I make new plans.

Hawaii. Packraft. One month.

Um...that's kinda all the planning I did. Now I'm sitting at the Anchorage airport flushing out the details. Flight is in two hours.
