Proof that Jody made it to Hawaii

 

Jody and Phoebe flew on separate flights to Hawaii on Christmas Day after the big winter storm that cancelled thousands of flights across the US.  Phoebe beat Jody to Honolulu by a few good hours.  Jody's flight was delayed by 3 hours and she had to transfer in Maui.  Jody said that running to her connecting flight paid off, since the man behind her couldn't get on -- Jody took the last seat!
