I was last there in 2001. It was a lot different.
My wife has been back once for a conference. Her mom came along and shared the hotel room. They had a great time. I did not want to put up with the LONG flight over.
Our first flight to Hawaii was in 1959. We rode in a C-54 facing backwards. It is unpressurized so we stayed at 5,000 feet and it took forever and a day. We returned on a cruise line the Matsonia.
This is a picture of them unloading our car.
It is a 1960 Plymouth Fury. I wish I could get that car back in that shape.
