7:00 AM
I awoke a little early and went downstairs to smoke a cigarette. The "free" breakfast was being served so I got dolly a cup of coffee and some peanut butter and went back to the room. We watched CNN with the news about the bombing in Syria. Really interesting and a little sad. We had not gotten our boarding passes so we went to the Business Center to print them. We did everything, but the printer was not working. Dolly had them sent to email. We got some of the free breakfast and went back to the room to prepare to check out. Our flight was not until 11:55 PM. We were going to go and look around and then hang out a Judi's place. She and Brook were going to take us to the airport in the evening.
While we were getting our stuff together, Judi called and told us that the Air France pilots were on strike. Dolly called the airline and she was told that our flight had been cancelled and we would be placed on the same flight the next day at 11:55 PM.
After some frustrating conversation with the agent, Dolly gave me the phone and I explained that we had commitments that could not be changed. He asked me to hold a bit while he checked on some other options. He said he could put us on Air Tahiti Nui leaving at 11:10 PM and arriving in Papetee at about 5:00 AM the next morning. We accepted and we were booked. He said he would email everything to us. Dolly got an email shortly thereafter, but I had not gotten one. We went out to LAX to go to Air Tahiti Nui, but we discovered that the counter did not open until 6 PM. We wanted to get our boarding passes and seat assignments, but that did not happen. Dolly called customer service and told the representative that I had not gotten my confirmation by email. She said she would send it right way. She did and all was well.
We kind of just chilled at Judi's place in the late afternoon. We had to wait for Brook to come home from work. Eventually, Brook got home and we sat around for a while. I had to take the minivan back and then we had to leave there and go to the airport. I had already filled the tank, so it should be a breeze. We left and they followed me to the rental office. Sure enough, it was a quick process getting checked in. Judi and Brook dropped us at the William Bradley International Terminal and bid us safe travel.
We went to the Air Tahiti Nui counter and slowly made it to the front. We transacted our business and went to security. That did not take long and we were headed toward the food area. We found what we wanted and found seats to eat. It wasn't long before they were calling our flight to begin boarding.
The flight left on time and we were on our way to French Polynesia. Check us out tomorrow.
