Gordana—the Hostess with the Mostess

Gordana—the Hostess with the Mostess

THE ONLY THINGS THAT HONOLULU AND HOUSTON have in common are “h” and “o”—they don't even wear masks in Texas! Yet here we are after ten hours of flying through five time zones with a six-hour layover spent trying to sleep on the floor of LAX. Both of our United flights were full and neither provided anything resembling the service of days-gone-by—nothing gratis at least. Welcome to the friendly skies!

Much like Blanche DuBoise, we “have always relied on the kindness of strangers.” Here in Houston it's the kindness of friends. And relatives, even if a bit removed.

We spent a few nights with Greg and Laura whom we met on our first cruise back in 2011—the one that started these journals as it happens. Gordana and Sam, also from the cruise, are feeding us as only Gordana can and former “niece-in-law” Ashleigh and Juan are treating us to a Tex-Mex feast at their house.
