Aloha!
I have arrived in Hawaii! 6 hour flight from Seattle was LONG, but it sure beats flying to Africa. I just got on the shuttle bus to go to the hotel and meet Katie, who has been here four days already for the ASHG conference. I hope to see Steve and Kristina before going to bed tonight for some much needed sleep. Tomorrow is a busy day, with Katie's talk in the morning and then our flight to Maui in the evening. Should be a great birthday vacation.
