And so the day begins with a wake up call at 3:30 AM!! Shuttle driver on time; easy airport procedures because NO people. I actually think the TSA folks were glad to see us. Boarded on time; flew as the sun rose.
we arrived at DFW almost on time despite a detour around a storm. Discovered that, even on a flight as long as the one to Honolulu, there is NO food except sandwiches for purchase. Oh, for the good old days of bad airline food :) So we picked up a sandwich and a salad to share on the plane.
Our flight was posted on time with a weather forecast for HNL that suited us!
Boarded on time; very long flight (7/12 hours), older plane with poor screen placement for our narrow seats so no movie :(. We read, napped and talked and arrived early in HNL. So glad we had booked a shuttle service that met us at the baggage claim area...no luggage to schlep and relatively short ride to the hotel. Our room at the Ala Moana Hotel is nice with a balcony overlooking the water. Early dinner and off to bed in the hopes of having more energy in the AM. So glad that all connections were on time and all luggage arrived intact. A good beginning to our wonderful trip!
