Story Time: I almost met Janet Jackson! Part 2

Anyways, I asked my friend from high school if she wanted to go and she was like yes. So on the day that we left my mom picked my friend up and drove her to Chapel Hill. It was very early in the morning. Our driver’s name was Garfield Johnson. He asked where were we going and I told him. He was like “Oh I have driven Janet before. If you get to meet her tell her I said hello.” Then, he goes on to tell us how she likes to travel in a particular type of vehicle. I was so excited. We got to the airport and got checked in and everything. Y’all I don’t even remember the flight. Lol. Check out the flight itinerary.

So, we arrived in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii. This was the first time I had ever been out of the continental United States. It was so nice. I didn’t know how to dress. It was cold back in NC and I packed like it was cold in Hawaii. I was so inexperienced in travel!

When we arrived, we had two drivers waiting for us. They talked among themselves and the one man was like you can drive them. So, we got in a limousine the bar was full of drinks and snacks. The driver was like you can have what you want. He was soft spoken and was telling us about the sites while we were on our way to the hotel. He stopped and got us leis. They were so beautiful and smelled wonderful. It was his gift to us and he told us how he ended up in Hawaii. Basically, he and his wife came on vacation but never went back home.

Until next time, keep being distinctive.

Fa’tima.
