Day 1: Home to Honolulu, Hawaii
Day 1 (7/9/2002): Michigan-Hawaii
The set time for the Gerald R. Ford
airport was for 8:15 am to meet. Everyone arrived and we had plenty of time to
check in, despite the strict security. Our plane took off on time from Grand
Rapids and we arrived in Detroit a few minutes later. It was not a problem to
catch our desired flight to Los Angeles.
We made
great time flying, arriving in Los Angeles almost half an hour early.
Unfortunately our flight to Honolulu was delayed by a couple of hours, so we
stayed approximately 6 hours at the airport. We received $10.00 for food at the
airport and basically passed the time waiting. A fellow from New Zealand (his
name was Andrew) was passing through the airport, coming back from back packing
Canada and the Mediterranean. The girls flocked to him and some exchanged names
and e-mail addresses. We finally got on the airplane (Hawaiian Airlines) and
arrived in Hawaii at about 10:00 pm local time.

We arrived at the Ohana Surf Hotel
and got the rooms at almost midnight. The kids were excited so they went
exploring the area with Beth. They didn't last too long, coming to
bed at quarter to one.
