Day 76: In the air to Hawaii!

The next morning it was cold and rainy at the SEATAC terminal…Seattle in March.  YUCK!

There was substantial de-icing going on.

But soon it was up into the clouds!

And then out into the sunshine!

I found a circular rainbow in the clouds…I understand this is something common to high flying airplanes.

A quick snack: mini pretzels with corn chips!

Then a good breakfast (11am PDT; 2pm HST): a breakfast burrito of egg and…something, and an orange muffin.  It was really good, and neither of us had had anything at all to eat until this so we gobbled them down and then realized we hadn’t taken our food photo.  So here is the food box photo!

More clouds.  It was a five and a half hour flight: there were lots of clouds!

Some interesting clouds!

Our first sight of Hawaii!

There are old runways all over the island of Oahu, like this one!

At least, I hope it is an old runway: someone seems to have built a compound in the middle of it!

A nice view of Honolulu through the clouds.

That is the airport, or part of it, down there.

Someone’s golf course under the approach.  I think it is still under construction.

Then we are down in Hawaii!  And waiting for an open gate…

Not a bad flight, all in all.

More to come, because the day is not over, no matter what the blog title reads!
