After nearly 4½ hours of nothing but clouds and ocean, we must be getting close to Honolulu.
View from 39,500 feet...
We have been flying at 39,500 feet (±300 feet) at an average speed of about 530mph, but just recently 1:45pm PDT or 10:45am HST), we started to drop altitude, so I assume we are approaching O’ahu.
(The flight attendant just announced we should be on the ground in about 30 minutes…)
We are seated, the plane is boarding (priority boarding is So Nice!!). Should be heading away in 20 minutes or less…

Left the hotel about 6:35am, dropped of rental car an boarded AirTrain to the terminal before 7:00am, baggage check and TSA Pre cleared before 7:20. Took us longer to make the walk all the way out to Gate 86 at the very end of Terminal 3, Concourse F. Boarding starts at 8:25am, departure at 9:05am.

The tail of our ride to Honolulu. Our seats (19H & 19J) are out of view, in front of the wing, on the other side of the plane.

Well, we are back to the hotel now, only going out again for dinner a little later, probably to Chili’s in San Bruno, so I figured I would take a minute and post the travel map for the day… Click on the link and you will get a map of where we traveled today. The one short break in the route was when we traveled through the “new” tunnel that replaced the road across “Devil’s Slide”, opened back in 2013.

Decided to just drive around to some old sights and do a little shopping today. We were both to tired from a lack of sleep on Monday before our flights and all the BS with the flight delays getting out of Chicago.
So, we went down to Los Altos to a terrific bakery for a late morning snack before crossing over the peninsula ridge on La Honda Road (CA-84) to San Gregorio Beach and drove north on Cabrillo Highway (CA-1).
Stopping in Daly City to check out a couple of Marianne’s favorite stores before heading back to the hotel to relax a bit before dinner…
