Close Quarters

Things I've learned so far on this Hawai'i adventure:

• You can have jet lag, even if it's just a six-hour flight and a three-hour time difference.


• Kids don't like to sit and relax and watch the view from the balcony. That's my thing.


• DVD players on a plane are as important as those oxygen masks that come down and don't inflate during a drop in cabin pressure.


• You'll pay $6 for a bag of pretzels – OR – a three-hour time difference means that kids are hungry and and ready for bed at the same time and you can't simply go down to the cafe and expect a relaxing meal.

More adventures await today ... I expect I'll learn even more.
