We got up early and headed for Salt Lake where we would meet my dad to take us to the airport. All was going smooth until we reached the airport! Once we arrived we found out that there were about 77 standby passengers, including ourselves, but only 56 available seats. Things were not looking good. We had a back-up plan of catching a flight early the next morning, but that woul take a day away from our fun! As luck would have it, the plane actually had mechanical problems and would be delayed about 3 hours. Well, it actually did turn out to be lucky because many of those stand-by passengers left or re-routed and we ended up getting the last 4 of 6 seats! Hawaii here we come!
Due to the mechanical issues, we had to fly at a much slower speed, so rather than a six hour flight, it took nearly 7 1/2 hours! And to top it off, it was the most turbulent ride I have ever been on. It was awful, but knowing paradise was in the near distance, I held on and closed my eyes!
We finally arrived! What a great feeling. Fist of all, it was still about 75+ degrees, even though the sun had set and it was getting pretty dark. The air smelled so fresh and our vacation had offically begun. Hooray!
We hurried to get our rental car, found the hotel and we were off to find dinner and to stroll the beach. Ahh, paradise!
Stay tuned......
