My first day started off at 4:00am at the Hilton hotel me and my parents stayed at for the night in Toledo. The alarm didn’t go off as planned but I was waking up all night worried that it wouldn’t. I’m glad I was paranoid about it or otherwise I would have been late making my plane. I got my parents up and we quickly got ready left. The hotel had breakfast on the go bags full of breakfast foods and bottled water. I took that with me for the plane trip except the water. At the airport I had to wait a bit to get my bags checked in and to get through airport security. I gave my parents a hug and took some pictures with them before I left them to go through security. Mom started to cry which made me tear up but I told her that I’m coming back. I had to go through the full body scan when I went through. I got a bottle of water for my trip and got on the plane for Phoenix Arizona. The flight was about 4 hours long and I gained 2 hours in the air. We landed early so I had time to answer text messages and call my parents, eat, use the restroom and send 2 emails before I had to get back on the plane an hour later.

The Phoenix to Lihuli, Kauai flight was over 6 hours long. At this point my legs were hurting from all the sitting. I took naps on both planes since it got boring after a while. Kauai was very pretty, what I saw of it from the air and airport. I took some pictures of the garden in the open air airport.

I ate at the airport and got on my 3rd and final plane to Honolulu. After 2 plane changes and 15 hours I was finally in Honolulu Hawaii! At the airport I had a bag get misplaced and to go through a great deal to get it. I got picked up by my temporary PC and got to the hotel. He got me set up and got checked into my room. My room is really nice and better than I expected.
The base is very nice and the scenery is beautiful. I took a shower, unpacked and went to my meeting. At that point I had been up for 22 hours. I made it through the meeting and the girls decided to pick through what the past campers left us. After that I finally got to bed.
