We made it!











Well we made it to Hawaii. Flight was, well bad. The technical aspects were "ok". The plane was old with no leg room. This was a 757 with the TV's hanging from the ceiling in the center aisle. Sitting next to the window, I could not see any of the TV's clearly. Won't have mattered, the audio was so bad that it was annoying to listen to. Halfway through the first set of programming, they had to stop it and start a different tape. AWESOME. Did I mention US Airway is going under. Can't imagine why.
















It was all worth it. Got a nice Ford Mustang convertible as a rental. Drove the 7 miles to the hotel on the beach. For whatever reason, the hotel upgraded us to a suite (living room, huge bathroom, two balconies). It isn't the spit into the ocean room we asked for, but the view is still spectacular.






We are going to dinner and then early lights out. We are headed to Pearl in the morning.



Oh, Jennifer wanted all of you to see me in my Hawaiian shirt at the airport. Turns out I was the only one wearing a silly shirt, weird.

  1. I like the shirt...

    Looks like awesom weather.

    After seeing the water Jennifer needs to try snorkling. She will regret it if she doesn't try.

  2. Glad you made it. Your flight description makes me so look forward to doing it with four kids under the age of six. Let me know what you think of Oahu. I'm dying to get there. Keep an eye out for scary places so you can help us avoid those. I read somewhere that Chinatown is fun to see, and there's supposed to be a huge flea market at the stadium downtown on Saturdays. Hope you guys have a blast!
