Today we spent the day turning in our hotel keys, car keys and saying good-bye to the place we called home for the past 10 days as we headed to the airport for the long trip home. We also said good-bye to grandma Milnes & Sikes as they head home for Houston. Today was a Special Day for Miranda as she celebrated her 15th birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIRANDA.
We left Maui Kahului airport on United flight #1003 (Boeing 777)with a stop in Kona on the big Island of Hawaii, this was an interesting stop black lava was every where, the runway is on a bed of lava they cleared a path an laid a strip of asphalt. I told the kids about our last trip to Maui the airport was all open and you exited the plane from rolling stairs, I thought that all went away after 911, but after landing in Kona I noticed employees waiting on the ground with rolling stairs I was disappointed that we would not get to do this (we were not changing planes) and much to my surprise they made us all get off the plane because of personnel change that was the highlight of my day. We also used this opportunity to have some birthday ice cream with Miranda, Chocolate Macadamia nut. The airport there is very much open only pavilions with no walls and wrought iron fence. Baggage is placed in a garage type building no luggage belts. After about an hour on the ground we finally boarded our plane for our 9 hour trip back home.
I hope you enjoyed reading & viewing pictures about our trip to Hawaii as much as we enjoyed sharing them with you, we will see you when we get home.
Happy New Year
