Sorry to everyone for our tardiness. Internet cafes on the Big Island are few and far between. The adventure started on Nov. 11 th at 4:30 am . It took an hour and a half to checking and go through U.S. security. We basically walked down to our gate and it had started boarding.
In flight our pilot informed us we might have to divert from Salt Lake to another airport. Fortunately we were able to handle despite a horrible snow storm which was hitting the whole Midwest. The fun really began then with mechanical problems that were notresolved even after 3 hours. It was decided by Delta that we fly to Seattle hub to switch planes, fun. It took another hour to get loaded then finally on our way. Another hour in Seattle to switch lanes so we were over 4 and a half hours behind.
We arrived in Honolulu missing our connection to the Big Island. had to stay overnight in Honolulu. Finally took 7:20 Hawaian Air to Hilo on Big Island the next day. frustrating beginning. Also Mary and I both brought colds with us.
Had an hour orientation for the Westphalia camper Van we will be using for the next 12 days. Nice people, a fellow by name of Jake was very thorough. These vans are all about 20 years old but they still work well.
