We have made it!!

After much hurry and wait..... We have made it to Hawaii. We did get a room at the Hale Koa for the night. We were lucky as all the rooms have been reserved. We could not make reservations because we did not know when we were going to be here.....makes it ruff to try a get the best rates. We will have to check and see what would happen if we did make reservation but had to back up the check in time. Don't know but it might be an option.

We did not have any problem getting out of North Island. There was a C-40 plane with 120+ seats. There were tons of kids. School here started Wednesday. So, some of them have missed the first two days of school. Hope that we do not run into the same thing on the way back. There should be a lot of traffic into Travis so again....we will have to see.

But after all is said and done.....we got here without too much trouble and have to say it went rather well. There were some minor problems but it helped that Tom knew more about the location of other bases. There were more options available than just standing and waiting. Well we will be here in Honolulu for a couple of days and will have to decide what we want to do. Because it is a really busy weekend....(guess that they all are). There seems to be no cars to rent. One trip that we want to take is to the Missouri. If we get a car, we could drive there and take our place in line. Without purses, bags, or large cameras. They are all prohibited. We saw that at the travel office this afternoon. Will let you all know how it goes....... L
