It's been two years, but we're finally back into semi-familiar territory. After last year's trips from the Atlantic to the Pacific and our whirlwind tour of Italy, it's time for a relaxing vacation. It's time to go to Hawaii.
Maui, to be exact, which C has never been to and D hasn't visited since her sixth grade field trip (and to think, for my field trips, I went to the zoo. D goes to a island in the Pacific with a 10,000 foot mountain...)
We flew Hawaiian from San Jose (much less crowded than SFO, and cheaper!) and the flight was pretty uneventful -- they give you food but you have to pay a $5 'audio access fee' to listen to the movie, even with your own headphones). Our connecting flight to Maui was on go! airlines. It's probably more accurate to call them an air taxi service rather than an airline. The best part of the 30-minute flight was the thumbs-up the singular flight attendant dude gave me when we were taxiing and I reached up to close the overhead bin he forgot about. It's nice when we can all pitch in.
Once on dry land again, we grabbed our rental car (free upgrade to a Chevy Impala, Dad), stopped at K-mart for some essentials, and headed off for a Zippy's fix.
We're staying our first two nights in a guest room of a house in Kula. At about 3,000 feet above sea level, the view encompasses all of the south shore and West Maui. It's positively amazing.
We're going to try to stay on west coast mainland time for our 3am wake-up call to go the summit of Haleakala. We'll see how that goes.
