Looks like we are going to land in Hawai. When I went off to sleep in my seat, I hear the captain asking if there was a doctor in the flight. I was quite sure we are not going to have a smooth journey. Figured I could not do much – so went off to sleep.

Woke up a few hours later with the captain announcing we are getting ready to alight in Honolulu. Found out a 76 year old passenger was complaining of heart pain. He was traveling with his family.

A couple of years earlier, a similar thing had happened and our flight from Doha to Atlanta was diverted to Budapest.

Hope the gentleman does well.

Meanwhile, looks like one more night of not much sleep for me – will be taking the red eye flight from San Fran to Atlanta.

I had a five hour layover in Fiji on my way back to the USA. I came out and there was Aseri, waiting for me. He was our friend, driver and guide when Sharmila and I came to Fiji early this year. We have kept up ever since. It was great to spend some time with Aseri before we had to part.

This is the fourth time I will be landing in Nadi!

I did not see them much anywhere else in the island though.
