Sam rolled over and switched off the alarm. It was four am and they had to
leave by five so they would make it to the airport in time for their plane.
"Jack, it's time to get up."
"Too early." He groaned.
"Stay in bed, I'll call Daniel and see if he wants to go to Hawaii with me."
"I'm up." He sat up straight.
"Good. I'll go and put the coffee on and you can take a shower." She kissed him. "Morning."
"Morning." He replied.
"Right have we got everything?" Sam double checked. "Suitcases?"
"Check."
"Passports?"
"Even though it's in the United States. Yes check."
"Money?"
"Check.
"My pager?"
"Check."
"Beach bag?"
"Check."
"Tickets, hotel confirmation and other travel information?"
"Check, check, check."
"Good lets go." She picked up the bags and carried them to the car, Jack was going to carry them but she had beaten him too it so he locked the doors and climbed into the drivers seat.

"Thank you Mr and Mrs O'Neill. If you'll go through to the departure lounge."
"Thank you." Jack said. He grabbed the passports and the hand luggage. "Duty free." He said with a smile.
"No alcohol, one it's too early in the day and two you can buy it on the way back."
"But I can buy food right because we didn't eat breakfast and airline food is just plain wrong?"
"Food's good."
"We regret to announce that the 0640 United Airlines flight to Hawaii will be delayed by approximately 30 minutes due to a technical fault. United Airlines would like to apologise for the delay and any inconvience it will cause you. Please out for further announcements."
"Great." Jack said. "Want to go and fix it?" He asked.
"Jack, I'm astrophysicist, not an aeronautical engineer."
"You managed to fix the X-301." He pointed out.
"I had plans for those and besides they were more theoretical scientific problems. Another major thing it wasn't a 747. At least we can get a leisurely breakfast."
"Then aloha Hawaii."
