Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

Hawaii, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States, but not without a price. In the springtime, the air of the Pacific Ocean is rough and turbulent. The flight that took us into Honolulu had 2 solid hours of up and down turbulence and for a moderately experienced flyer, still managed to scare the tar out of me. Naturally, after a flight like that, I am a bit nervous getting on an inter-island plane to fly to Maui, but upon takeoff at 6am, this meets my eye. The beauty of nature is sometimes greater than, in my instance, fear and uneasiness, and managed to take my breath away as the clouds looked like the dollup of whipped cream on top of the island of Oahu.
