My earliest memory, I was (4 1/2) is our family loaded on a C-54, seated facing the tail of the airplane flying to the Hawaiian territories. Unpressurized, flying at 6,000 feet and nothing to look at but waves or open ocean. At one point I remember asking my mom is this were live now? It is a 12 hour flight in a C-54 and it was a lifetime for a little kid. Mom was dress up in a long dress, gloves, hat, ready for a dinner out look. Dad was in uniform of course.
I do remember as we pulled up at the airport and unloading onto the concrete ramp the hula girls were there to greet everyone with leis. So I got laid before I was 5!

I also remember the big party and celebration all over the island as Hawaii became a state.
