My Pacific adventure began today. I left Duluth on an 8:25 a.m. flight. After
a 2.5 hr layover in the St. Paul/Minneapolis airport I got on a direct flight
to Honolulu and arrived in Hawaii about 4:00 p.m. local time (about 8 p.m. biological clock time.) It took a while to get my suitcase and find the shuttle and even longer to get through the traffic of the big city but fortunately my hotel,
the Hawaii Prince, was the first stop and I was able to get checked in.
my travel agent and the hotel resulted in my reservation being for a check-in
on Saturday, not today (Thursday.) They were able to straighten things out at
the front desk but I'm going to have to change rooms tomorrow which will be
a bit of a pain. At least I have a place to stay tonight!
It is a room with an amazing view. The picture is from my room on the 22nd
floor. After dumping my bags in the room and admiring the view, I slipped on
sandles and strolled down onto Waikiki beach to watch the sunset, walk in the
ocean and get a glimpse of Diamond Head. The second picture is of Diamond Head
from Waikiki Beach.
I found a sushi place for dinner and now I'm trying to stay awake so I can get adjusted to the time change. I think I'm going to give up soon and crash and get some sleep so I can be ready for a full day of meetings tomorrow.
