Waikiki > Maui

Spent the morning relaxing by the pool. Rather cloudy, but still nice out.

Checked out of the hotel and took my work suitcase over to my friend Ed’s hotel. He is staying at the Sheraton – where I will be checking in on Monday.

Tonight, I am meeting my parents at the airport and we are flying to Maui for the weekend. So I didn’t want to lug a suitcase will all my work clothes in it.

This way, I only had to take a bag for the weekend with my essentials.

In the late afternoon, I took a cab to the airport.

I waited for my parents and then we walked to the Hawaiian Airlines terminal to check in.

We tried to switch to an earlier flight, but there were not any seats. So we walked, what seemed like 10 miles to the SkyClub.

Got settled in with some snacks and drinks and then I said it was time to go.
Hustled to the gate and no one was there. Huh?

That’s when dad informed me that he and mom had no idea why we had left the SkyClub because our flight wasn’t for another 1.5 hours.

Damn it!

See, I don’t even change my watch when traveling. I keep it on Eastern time. Which at times (like now), tends to cause problems due to my math deficiency.

Since the SkyClub was so far away, we decided to just stay put.

The flight to Maui was only like 25 minutes. Landed, got our stuff and then I headed to National on the bus to pick up the rental car. Went back and picked up the parents.

Headed to the Wailea Beach Marriott Resort. It was night time, so it was hard to the view of the beach – but the resort itself was beautiful!

Got settled into our room and ordered a pizza. Ate and went to bed. Mom and dad had been up for 22 hours.
