We’ve Been “Leis”ed!!

Well, we are here at the Turtle Bay Resort on the north shore of Oahu. We got our Leis when we got off the airplane, courtesy of the Pleasant Holidays Greeters, the company that scheduled our whole vacation package on Hawaii.

It was an interesting drive up from Honolulu across the center of the island and up the north shore surfing coast. But, it was a very calm day on the sea, no one was out surfing, but there were many beach goers…

Also, you will probably note that I am once again posting pictures with the blog. Here at the Turtle Bay Resort, we have complimentary high speed internet access, so things work better now. I have reposted the missing message of our first day in San Francisco along with the doings on Friday in California….

Well, now that we have relaxed a bit, it’s time to go out and explore a little more….

In Flight to Hawai’i…..

Well, this should get posted when we land in Honolulu in a little over
an hour…. It has been a nice quiet flight so far. But can you
believe, the inflight movie today on United is the same movie we saw on
Thursday’s Continental flight from Cleveland to San Francisco!! And, it
is not even a great movie: Anthony Hopkins in “Fracture”.

A Boeing 777 sure is a nice big comfy plane compared to the 737 we flew
from Cleveland to San Francisco, and of course the 50 passenger Embraier
145 from Syracuse was tiny in comparison.

More from Hawai’i after we land…..

Ready to Fly!

We made it through checkin and security… Sure glad I printed boarding
passes at the hotel last night!! We should start boarding shortly…

Problems with Laptop dialup….

I was having big problems with the laptop last night and this morning
getting it to work with a dialup connection…. I went down to the
business center at the hotel, and looked at the blog, and there was a
big display problem with the last message I sent via Post2Blog (pictures
too big, my fault…), so I deleted it and tried to reload it, and when
I did make a connection, it would not successfully load the message to
the blog.

So, fo now, I will be sending text messages via email until I get things
straightened out on the laptop….
