By far this is the best flight my wife and I have ever been on - we're flying Hawaiian Airlines First Class, Seattle to Kona thanks to the air miles we earned during the past couple of years.
Champagne and guava juice as soon as we are seated, snacks soon follow, and then a brunch that could easily satisfy two of me!
Oh, and a digi-player that is chock full of movies, music vids, books, news, and flight info. I check out a movie for a couple of hours and then start the book I brought for the flight.
More champagne is offered throughout the flight; I want to arrive coherent so I opt for water instead.
We arrive in Honolulu, Oahu, change aircraft and continue on to Kona on The Big Island.
I get my camera out and fire off a dozen photos of the islands as we fly over them.
We land in Kona, exit the jet and we look at each other and say, "feels like home." The aloha is strong.
Yes, Hawaii has a way of feeling like home especially to those who have been here before. We realize this is our 7th visit to Hawaii since 1992, and our 4th visit to The Big Island. We love it here.
Pick up the rental car, drive north to Waikoloa Village and on to the condo we found through Abbey Vacation Rentals. This is our 2nd stay at the Vista, Unit E305. Home away from home!
First evening we walk around the area to re-quaint ourselves and enjoy the first of many wonderful sunsets.
The nights are bring about a star-filled sky and 'lull me to sleep' sounds of palm fronds moving on a gentle breeze.
Heaven!
Glenn I am reading your posts and so feeling your time in Hawaii! How wonderful to fly first class and meet such interesting people and do such wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteSuch abundance in your postings-no talk of lack in any way, shape or form-what inspiration to live my life that way no matter what my bank account says!
Thank you!
