Our flight from Seattle to Portland was delayed over an hour due to maintenance issues. Alaska/Horizon airlines, we hate you. Our flight to Portland went out after two other later schedueld flights to Portland. Grr. Ok, so we get to Portland and don't even have enough time to get lunch because of the delay. We board the plane and oh wouldn't you know it, more maintenance issues. There was a strange smell coming from the back. So we stay on the plane for an hour while they investigate and then they ask us to deplane. So we are in the Portland airport another 3 hours before taking off. We got 1,000 bonus miles (big whoop), $8 each for food (after we already bought lunch, so we proceeded to use it at a store selling candy, chips and Vitamin waters, of which Anth dropped one on the ground and it exploded everywhere causing the lady working there to be not so happy with us). Anth called and got us another $100 each in Alaska vouchers so that helped, but really, we wanted to be on the beach - or at least in Hawaii before sundown... Bastards. 
This dude, above, (nice shirt btw - logo and face blocked out for libel purposes), wouldn't shut the F up all flight long. Really, he talked the whole flight with this lady next to him. We hate him. And here's a tip for all you travelers. If you want to be a chatty flight person, fine, but do it quietly. And if you are going to do it, do so with the person in the chair next to you only. And if there is an empty spot between you and the person you are talking to, try having one of you fill that spot so you sit closer and aren't having to talk so loud to be heard. Guess what, I said a lot of things under my breath about you while you were chatting away, but you didn't hear them because I, unlike you, didn't talk loud enough for the whole airplane to hear, you stupid idiot.
Above is the liar screen. It's a liar because it changed its mind about our flight so many times. Then within moments of it updating, we were given other updates, so the sign was not keeping up with the scoop, and lied many times. Ok, we are going to board at noon, no 1.15, no 12.45, no wait, 2pm, no, 1.45, no wait...

Good airplane!
2 more people (below) who wouldn't shut up in the airport. Seriously, we hated so many people this day it was insane. We started out with them in Seatac. They drove Amy nuts. Here's another tip - if you want to talk with someone, say, your travel companion, sit NEXT to them... not ACROSS from them. And regardless of what you do - try to be courteous of the people around you. I have an easy phrase that can help you remember this fact... so just remember... "OPE" or "OPE (YEM)" Other People Exisist (You Effing Moron)

This photo was taken on the sly - so that's what she really looks like! I believe at the point in time depicted here she is using her phone to type ranting text messages to a friend to keep her sanity...
We ended up in Maui at 7pm when we were supposed to be there at 2:45pm. Oh well, that is part of traveling....As JB Champion would say, "I don't feel too sorry for you as you travel to Maui!"
