Yes, girls and boys, I am in Guam.
It’s 9:30 PM, December 19, 2025.
And I missed the plane to Tokyo.
I do, however, have a seat on tomorrow’s late flight. Which means I now have an entire day in Guam. Get kicked out of the hotel at noon. Plane leaves at 7:20 PM.
This is pretty much what I expected would happen. So yes—this is what I planned.
The plane from Honolulu to Guam was late from the get-go. The weather was bad. There were screaming little babies. The plane was packed. We transit passengers were only let off once because they were trying to make up time. All in all, a grand adventure.
Hotel Wi-Fi is too iffy to use even with my VPN, so this is coming to you from my phone.
More tomorrow. Or whenever.
Remember: whatever happens is what I planned.

Hello dear. Friend. Will be a hallway dweller til 6pm. Sitting on green chairs in hallway near food court, has power plugs, I’ll save you a seat next to me
