Hawaii Departure

Our fight didn't leave till 11 am so we left our "B" early and decided to see if we could find the black sand beach in Hilo. We followed the Japanese Tour Buses and found them with no problem. Strange looking down and seeing black and green.  The contrast of the lush green follage and the dark wet lava is very striking.



side note : Zac - I found a beach that had a huge horseshoe pit section - didn't have waves though.

Delta flight from Honolulu to Atlanta was 7 hr and 50 minutes.  They offered us drinks twice and NO MEALS - unless you wanted to buy one of their sandwiches. The standard peanut, cookie or pretzel snacks were offered once - I was so hungry I asked for 2.  I know they are cutting expenses but when they have you hostage for 8 hours it is polite to feed you at least once.
All planes were on time as well as my angel 'Gail' who picked me up.  Home again, Home again, jiggity jig.
