Hawai'i trip 2017 - Day 1

Sunday, February 5th, The Adventure Begins
 
After a very early wake up time, 3:15 to be exact, we set out for the airport. (To our great surprise, Daniel woke up no problem and was ready to head to Hawai'i. Probably because we traumatized him so much with talk of how early we were going to have to get up in the morning.)
 
We met Madison and Jocobi there and boarded a SkyWest flight to Los Angeles. The flight went well and we arrived on time to a foggy LA.
 
Next flight was a United 777 to Honolulu. To our shock and slight sadness the United flight had no entertainment options. No TV's in the seat back in front of you?! Oh dear, this was going to be a long flight. Plus the seats looked to be out of the 1980's. I shook my head and felt bad for my kids.
 
The flight took off on time and we were on our way. Soon we discovered though it was going to be an even longer flight than we thought once we ran into a strong headwind that gave us some turbulence that I had come across on a flight in a long time.
 
Six hours later, four of which were spent in our seats, and the flight attendants in their jump seats, we landed in Honolulu.
 
The rental van was picked up quickly from Hertz and we were on our way to Waikiki and the Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach hotel.
