On Vacation

After arrival at HNL, the first outdoor sight is the apron (don't call it tarmac) where the airplanes park. Today there were more cargo containers stored near the gate than I had ever seen before.

The image was an echo of last year's shipping-container pile-up at the port of Long Beach.

Could air shipments through Hawaii be struggling like the whole logistics business? When an industry experiences declining demand and responds with layoffs, imbalances occur.

It will take a few days for my mind to realize that it's on vacation.
