I came across this fantastic resource from educator @MarcusLuther6 while scrolling on X last night. (Whenever I think I should just delete the app, something like this will pop up and I’ll stay on it another day.)
I thought I’d give this idea a go for today’s slice.
Pre-flight, the passenger is alert and anxious, anticipating the journey; once landed, the passenger is tired, but relieved to have made it to the destination. What comes in between is mysterious and dark time travel.
So, what happened during that dark travel through time…
As I awoke from my in-flight nap, I saw a flight attendant walking down the aisle collecting forms. In that same moment, I felt a tap on my shoulder. “Vivian, Vivian.” It was my husband, who was sitting behind me.”Did you fill that out?”
“No, what is it?”
“I don’t know.”
Apparently, we both slept through the distribution of the agricultural form you need to fill out when visiting Hawaii. I got a form for the two of us and began filling in the empty boxes. When I got to the section where it asked our address or hotel name for our stay, I was stumped. I passed the form back to my husband. After all, we were staying with his parents at their time share. He would know. Nope. He passed the form back, section unfilled.
“You don’t know where we’re going?”
“No, I have no idea.”
“How are we getting to where we’re going?!”
“I think my parents are picking us up.”
“You think?!”
I made a guess at the name of the hotel and turned it in. It was a great relief when I got the ping once we landed. Call us when you get your bags.
Phew!
