Our HNL-SFO flight was a little bumpy at times but not enough to bother us. Our meals were just fine and the service was fine. After a few flights on a 767, we're reminded that a 777 is more pleasant. Why? There's that little extra bit of room in general, and both of our overheads fit wheels in up in the overhead bins. The 767 has arguably the smallest overhead bins of any of the larger domestic planes. They're closer in size to some of the domestic foreign carriers we've flown for which we're required to check our roll-aboards in any case.
We're sitting in the RCC, catching up on e-mail, and just relaxing before boarding a flight that will land us in SEA well after midnight. One more night in the Doubletree and then it's home to catch up on laundry, mail, and a few other chores as we ready ourselves for our flight to Rome at the end of the month.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
