Flight Home ... June 14-15, 2016

The actual time in the air is longer going to Hawaii than it is coming home.  This is probably because of the prevailing winds.  Our experience has usually been that there are longer layovers coming back and with the time zone changes, you are flying during the night.  All this adds up to a much more strenuous trip coming home.

Mel, Kristin and Lilianna dropped us off at Honolulu International at about 11 AM on Tuesday, June 14.  The check-in through TSA went extremely smootly.  It didn't take much longer than the process in Watertown.  We were in the air just after 1 PM.  That leg took just short of five hours.  With the time zone changes, we landed in LA just after 9 PM, Pacific time.  We had about three hours there to have dinner in the airport and wait.  Our Philly flight took off just after midnight.  We landed in Philadelphia just before 8 AM, EST.  We had another three hour wait which turned into about 3-1/2 for some reason.  This put us in Watertown just after 1 PM on Wednesday, June 15.

The first 22 pictures were from the first leg, Honolulu to LAX.  These include a few of the other planes that were lined up to take off when were were, a couple of shots of Tripler Army Medical Center where Mel works, Diamond Head Lighthouse and Crater and what I think was Makapuu Point, although I didn't see the lighthouse because that was on the backside of the hill from us.  LA to Philadelphia was during the night so the only two pics we took were of the sun coming up somewhere over the US.  By the Philly to Watertown leg I was just too tired to take any pictures!
