HAWAII TRIP--DAY 1

We woke up very early and made it to the airport by 4:00 am. We didn't have to many problems except for when we got to L.A. we had to get our boarding passes and go threw security again and we only had an hour to get it done, but we made it, then we found out that they switched planes on us and our seating assignments were no longer the same they had us sitting 8 rows away from each other, we had to fight with them to change it, we lost our window seats but they did get us kind of together, the boys sat behind us. It ended up being ok, this was a new plane and they had individual TVs in the headrest in front of you with all kinds of movies, games and music you could listen to, it really kept the kids entertained. Well me too, i watched 2 movies, it was nice. When we got to Hawaii Doug's brother David met us there with a lei greeting, that was really nice and then we went to get our rental car. we had to wait to check into our hotel so we put all of our stuff in Davids apartment and then we went to eat lunch at Cheeseburger in Paradise, right on the Waikiki boardwalk, that was fun. We finally checked in, our hotel ended up being really nice, it had a kitchen, two queen beds and a pull out couch, so we had plenty of room for all of us to sleep comfortably. That night Dave made us a spaghetti dinner and then we went and checked out the beach and the Hawaiian marketplace. we ended up going to bed fairly early, since we had been up almost 24 hours!
