Our flight was delayed a bit, but armed with snacks, coloring and benadryl (and permission to use it from our doctor), we had a smooth flight. We arrived to drizzle and clouds, and heard it had been that way for the past week. That could only mean it would be clearing soon, right?
In my mind, there is no better airport than Lihue for immediate immersion into the local state of mind. Even in the rain, the open air terminal, balmy breezes, and Hawaiian music helped us forget all about the real world. Anna, our energizer bunny, did not sleep at all on the flight, and charged off the plane and through the airport... she seemed to know exactly where she was going.
She finally did run out of steam as soon as we pulled onto the road, and both kids slept on the ride to the hotel. Will woke up when we pulled up to the Hyatt, and was excited to get his lei of Kukui nuts. He graciously offered to take Anna's flower lei for her, and promised he'd give it to her when she got up.
We were surprised to learn at check in that we'd been upgraded to a partial ocean view room, and even more surprised when we got there and found a bag of local snacks, freshly baked cookies and tubes for the kids waiting for us. Turns out it is a good thing to comment on a hotel's Facebook page before a trip! Josh from the Hyatt was a gracious host and treated us so well during our stay... I know it's his job to be nice, but really, he could not have been any more friendly or generous. Mahalo!
