Air travel

Long flight from Chicago to Honolulu, 8.5 hours.  There was a contest to guess at what time we would be 1/2 way there. I thought of Christy first to figure this out given the speed, the head wind speed, the total miles and the starting time.  But I wasn't far off, only about 18 seconds!  The prize was a bag and a tour book, no big loss.  This is the first time we have flown from Chicago.  I think the break you get when you fly to the west coast is maybe better, especially with keiki. We will remember that for future reference. Finally landed in Honolulu. We needed to take a Wiki Shuttle to the interisland terminal and travel on to Hilo,  We had about a 45 min wait. Arrived in Hilo, picked up our car and drove go Verna's to get local food. Then we drove to the KTA store to pick up groceries and on to the vacation rental.  Arrived in the dark and Gary & Karen were worried a little, but glad to see us.  The apartment is perfect!  We are tired.
