Tuesday, March 29 ~ 4 am comes awfully early!! So I finally got up at 4:20. Suitcases ready, coffee ready, I need to get ready. While washing my face I got a cramp or muscle spasm in my neck, great! Facing a 14 hour trip feeling like I have whiplash! Oh well, we're going to HAWAII!!! Denny picked us up at 5:15 and we're on our way! No problems going through security, they didn't care that I had an extra carry on (the beastly cpap monster), Roy got the new full body scan & was through in no time at all. Flight was fine, just a few bumps here & there. Watched the Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Not exactly my genre but kinda interesting. Got to Dallas around 10:15 their time & had lunch in the food court. Left Dallas around 11:30 and a mere 7 hours later we were in Maui!!! It was a looooong flight!! Had to get up every so often to stretch, now have a sore back to go along with my sore neck. 7 hours and not 1 stinkin' snack!!! But they do give you the whole can of tonic instead of just the teeny cup full. Luckily I had the foresight to pack some apples, bananas and, of course, Cheetos! The plane was crazy huge, 2 aisles that went on forever, 3 seats in the middle and 2 on each side. Watched a good movie, The King's Speech, and didn't watch Avatar: The Last Airbender. Tried to watch it but it was too "out there" for me. Maui - got our luggage, got the car & off we go ... to Wally World! Haha! It was recommended to pick up groceries there because they are notoriously expensive in the resort area. Interesting note: they no longer offer plastic bags so you have to either wheel out your cart of loose items or buy a reusable bag. The bags were only 25 cents each, so that wasn't bad. Got to the Whaler & I swear I staggered in to check us in. Between a stiff body & sleep deprivation I was a mess. Our room is really nice & we have gorgeous views of both the ocean and the mountains (volcanos?). We unpacked, I went to bed & watched tv, Roy sat on the lanai & watched the sun go down. I ran out to take a peek, take a picture & back to bed. Looking forward to tomorrow's adventures!!!
