Transcript

Good morning everybody. So, a quick little update. Um, when we left our house, all of our flights were showing on time still. And right as we got to the airport, which is 45 minutes from our house, right when we got here, our flight to Hawaii got canceled. So as of now, our flights were rebooked for tomorrow morning on a different airline at 6 AM. So we'll see if we ever make it there. The kids are pretty bummed out, but we're just glad we weren't there while the storm hit. So stay tuned for updates.
