Day 1
Doug and I picked up Gaye Bunting at 12:30 p.m. and then headed to LAX. The traffic was heavy once we got near Santa Monica. It was awful for Doug going home - took him 3 1/2 hours! Thanks, Honeyman!
Once at the airport, Gaye and I had to split up as we were taking different airlines. They were next to each other, so that was good. I showed my boarding pass and then stepped onto the escalator. I heard, "There she is" and looked up to see Lindy and Jonathan a few steps up from me! That was amazing! After clearing security, we went to Chili's for some dinner, then to our gate where they had begun to board and on we went. I got the window seat!
Soon we were in the air crossing the Pacific Ocean to paradise. The flight was a little more than five hours. Gaye's flight was delayed two hours, so we picked up our Alamo rental car and went to the Hilton in Hawaiian Village where Jonathan got our room, then we headed back to pick up Gaye at the airport. She got in close to 11 which was 1:00 a.m. California time. While driving to the airport, it rained. It was warm and humid. Honolulu is a big bustling city with freeways, traffic, high rise buildings - just like a big city on the mainland.
