Found this the other day and thought I had posted then but I guess not.
Enjoying the TR so far, I love Hawaii, it is so pretty there, I have been once on a cruise and stayed a couple days after but that was in like 98 pr 99, hope to be able to get there again someday but DH is reluctant to fly that far, I'll have to work on him! LOL
Can't wait to hear more!
Ahoy there! I'm here!! I just finished your OKW/Vero/DCL/AKV tr and had to book it over here! I love your reports! Can't wait to read about your Hawaii adventures!
I am in - will read tomorrow nite -
looking forward to your TR !
Joining in, but I will need to go back and read up. I can't wait to hear about this trip, but sleep does take precedence tonight!
You always seem to have hectic journeys to the airport!
I thought our Alaska Airline flight was good last year. Great that you get a free drink.
Wish I was relaxing in Aulani right now.
What a beautiful first night! I wouldn't have minded the crummy Mai Tai, either. In fact, I had a lot of crummy ones on the island, and I really didn't care.
I'm wondering about the knife, too. I forgot to take my liquids out last trip! Jim says TSA has never been responsible for catching anyone - it is the fellow passengers or flight crew who pick up on things. So how safe do we all feel now?
I'm looking forward to your walk to the other coves - I didn't really get a feel for all of the grounds when I toured.
In case you were wondering, I'm totes ready for an update.
At 5 am I got up, I had a few work things to do so was getting up a little earlier than normal before heading in. Somehow in the process I managed to break the toilet. Went to flush, could tell the chain had come off, took the lid off, re-attached chain, went to flush again and BAM, the entire mechanism flipped up and locked up in the air. Great. Never had that happen before! I could not get it down/unlocked either. So I left it like that (well after I unhooked the chain and flushed manually lol).
Jeff had the day off anyway, right?
Why is it that little things like this happen just before a trip??? Good thing you had a repairman handy.
The under two hour flight to WDW is about all I can handle with my claustrophobic self. Sadly, I don't think I will ever be able to make the Hawaii trip because of the length of the flight.
Well...that and the money.
I think walking around Aulani would just be an amazing thing!
Your meal on the plane looked delicious! Very impressive. The one time we flew to Hawaii was from Australia. I don't really remember the food though.
Can't wait to see pictures during daylight.
Aloha Cynthia! Sorry to be so late- June is an insane month around here! But today it is pouring rain, so Field Day was cancelled, and I have a little time to DIS-
First off, how cool you have so much family in Hawaii! I wish I did- I would find a reason to go to every birthday party, retirement party, and envelope opening.
I have always heard Alaska Airlines is the best- and WOW! It looks like it really is! I had one of those uber-sweet Trader Vic's mai tais on my flight too- but paid $8 for it, I believe.
Very glad you got to Aulani in 20 minutes- that is PERFECT!
Aloha and Ellen!Looks like you had a fantastic trip planned- I'm looking forward to reading about how all your hikes were, since the next time we go to oahu that will be more in our plan there (we did most of our hiking on Kauai this last visit). And hey! Thanks for the shout out!
Ellen
All this time zone talk is about to give me a headache!Of course not. So at 5:45 we were up and at em! And because it really was 8:45 to our overtired brains we decided to just get up, albeit slowly. Can anyone guess what we did next?
Refinery, maybe? Definitely something industrial.We had to google it as we couldnt stand not knowing what the heck that thing was! Anybody know? Could be worth a tiki head (slushie credits don't seem to fit here) or maybe a menehune.
