On the way to the airport we stopped at a gas station so Gary could top off the tank before returning the rental car. This is were I saw the above rooster. I'm not gonna say they're everywhere but they turn up more than you might think.
Once I was settled into my seat on the puddle jumper to Oahu I looked up and was startled to see what looked like a pin head. What I saw didn't register as a child's head because it was up a little high to be a kid. On closer inspection I realized the person ahead of me was a woman with a big hair bun. She was looking down reading a magazine.
The boarding process for the plan began around 10:30 am and it didn't take long. Still sitting on the runway at 11:30 am when they were starting up the engines. Not sure what the delay was but there was a screaming baby a couple rows ahead of us that wailed the whole time until just before take off and was quiet the whole 20 minute flight. They pass out juice or water about halfway through. The four people in first class got canned Mai Tais when seated after boarding. We landed on Oahu at 12 noon sharp.
Had a five hour layover in Hololulu. We got some lunch and then spent our time sitting or wandering around.
One of the gift shops had all their Christmas stuff at half off. Mele Kalikimaka.
The weather was beautiful the whole time there we were there. Rain had been predicted for a good chunk of our visit but that is not what played out. The weather in always Hawai'i reminds me of a gorgeous summer day in Minneapolis - upper 70s, mild (to me) humidity, and a soft breeze. Bracing for ice (and ICE) upon our return home.
