Road Trip! And we’re off!

It’s been a long time coming, but we are finally on our way to Hawaii!! The Big Island to be a tad more precise.

This is literally one of my favorite places in. the. world. It’s hard to believe it’s already been 15 years since my last trip out to the deep Pacific!

My daughter and the Mrs. have been twice since my last trip to the islands, but I’ve been borderline berserk with excitement for this trip.

This time around it is just the bride and I, celebrating our 30 year anniversary. The girl will be back home, helping take care of our spoiled rotten feline.

We were up at 4am, in the car by 5am on our way to the Oakland Airport. Anticipation made falling asleep last night a little rough, so I’m starting out a little wacky on only a few hours sleep, but will have PLENTY of time to catch up on my beauty sleep.

It’s been raining steadily at home since yesterday and cold, so I’m extra happy to be leaving town for a bit!

The airport scene went as easily as you could hope for. No hang ups checking in, got sat with the early boarding group, the plane took off on time and landed at our destination 20 minutes earlier than scheduled. Who could ask for more?

No issues with the car rental and the hotel let us check in early, every thing we could hope for and then some.

So happy to be back in Hawaii, it’s been far too long!
