2011 - Dec. 6 - St. Louis to Honolulu

Yesterday, we had an uneventful drive from home to the Comfort Inn - St. Louis Airport. We did the Park-n-Fly thing because we would have had to get up way too early to make our our 9:00AM flight time if we had left from home this morning. Besides, in total, it's cheaper than parking at the airport!

So, we were at the airport this morning at 6:45 and at our gate at 7:05. Plenty of time! They wanted to passengers to take the 8:00 flight to Dallas instead of the 9:00, so we actually left an hour earlier than planned. What the heck - sit and wait in St. Louis or sit and wait in Dallas.

We arrived in Dallas with plenty of time to get to our gate, check out some shops, and eat lunch before boarding our 1:00PM flight. We landed in Honolulu at about 5:15PM, 9:15 Illinois time. After the 30 minute ride to the hotel, it was dark, so we did a little exploring in the neighborhood, had dinner at one of Wolfgang Puck's places, and checked out the beach before hitting the sack about 10:30.

Long day!

BTW, the hotel charges $16.95 per day or $6.95 per hour for WiFi Internet access. We'll be finding a McDonald's!
