March 21-22: LAX to Palau

So we started the day at 5:30 and took a shuttle to LAX. Once we got there we tried to check in, but Nate’s passport was not valid for a long enough period of time so he couldn’t get checked in. Palau requires that our passports be valid for at least 6 months after our return date and Nate’s was only valid for 4 months. Unfortunately he had to drive all the way down to San Diego to get an extension on his passport and then catch the same itinerary the next day, so we had to leave him.

After that whole debacle we were able to get going smoothly. Our flight to Hawaii ran a little late and we only had about 20 minutes for our connection, but luckily the gate was only 3 gates away. Somehow Jeremy and I both got booked for the middle seats on the entire trip, so we were both pretty pissed about that. Once we got to Guam we went to the food court in the airport and grabbed some udon and tried to charge our electronics.

Once we landed in Palau and gathered our luggage a contingent from the Palau SDA Church picked us up and took us to our hotel. After we checked in we all passed out.
