Heading to Hawaii

Well, the Schotts are traveling again!  This time we are on a 16 day cruise to Hawaii. The above picture is not quite right since we are not going to Maui, but you get the general idea.   

Yesterday was a very loooooong travel day.  It was either fly out very early or mid-afternoon, and I picked mid-afternoon.  We left Detroit Metro on a 3pm flight to San Francisco with a 2 1/2 layover in Phoenix, scheduled to arrive in San Francisco at 9pm PST.  (Always book a sizable layover if you need to arrive on time!) Being a mid-day flight, our first flight was delayed by 30 minutes which was well within our layover time.  But our second flight was also delayed by 45 minutes which got us into SFO about 10 PM (that 's 1AM Detroit time).  Tired and well past our bed times, we caught our shuttle to the HI Express, unpacked a bit and finally go to sleep at 12:45 AM PST.  

Today we have a Lyft coming at 11am to take us to the Crown Princess.   We are looking forward to several sea days, arriving at Hilo on Friday.  Thanks for coming along on our journey!
