Day 1 - Friday, May 14, 2004 We are in Hawaii, our 50th state. We had a 7 hour flight but very uneventful. Good service but very mediocre food. We were greeted at the end of the jetway by a hostess who gave us a lei, hugged us and kissed our cheek. We were the only ones to get this. INTERESTING! She took us to baggage, put them on a cart, took us to a shuttle bus and we were ...

Day 2 - Saturday - May 15, 2004 We were up before the alarm - just after 6 AM. There was a heavy overcast and there was a lot of moisture in the air.

Our driver gave us a brief tour and pointed out the ...

Day 3 - Sunday - May 16, 2004 We were up before the 6 AM alarm and out of the hotel room by 6:40 and on our way to breakfast at the Wiamaia Restaurant on the other corner from the Hilton.

Day 4 - Monday - May 17, 2004 I set the alarm but did not turn it on. But we were up in time, showered, went across the street and had breakfast.

We had not been told that we were almost at the end of the pickups and the ...

Day 5 - Tuesday, May 18, 2004 We got up a little later than usual, about 7:30, and worked around the room a bit. We did not want to go out too early to get breakfast as we wanted only two meals today. So we checked the email and the news, showered, dressed and then went out. We started our walk about 8:30 or so and we went toward the bustling Waikiki "city" center. We crossed ...

Day 6 - Wednesday - May 19, 2004 We again had a lot of time this morning so we got up when we wanted - about 7:30. We took our time showering and dressing, but decided to go out and place towels on the lounge chairs by the pool. We got there a few minutes early and had to wait for it to open at 8:30. We left two towels, our books and Gennie’s bag on the chairs and walked the ...
