Oahu
Came out over the holiday weekend to Oahu. I flew out on United Airlines and arrived in time to catch dinner at a friend's house. I generally like to fly first thing in the morning but I wasn't able to catch a decent fare and left in the evening. Luckily, I was able to redeem a domestic upgrade certificate and was comfortable on the flight. Usually, United plays the "halfway to Hawaii" game on these flights but on this occasion the crew did not offer the game. I was looking forward to winning another Hawaii travel guide book. I almost left the plane before taking off when the airline steward asked for a volunteer to take a later flight. Unfortunately, I was not travelling alone and they only wanted one volunteer. :( I flew out a day earlier than I originally anticipated and couldn't find a decent rate at the hotel I booked initially. So I opted to tack on a stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village for one night. It has been awhile since I've stayed at this H
