On Nov. 14, Amy, Jeremiah, Jesse and Marlys will be leaving for Kona, Hawaii! Originally Jesse was only going to come for Christmas so he was booked with Kara for Dec. 14 on Alaska Airlines. The rest of us are going United. So when it turned out that he was able to go as a Mission Builder, I had to change his flight to Nov. 14 but of course could not change the airline. So we will all leave Calgary Nov. 14 a.m. (Jesse at 6:30, us at 9:00), and arrive at Kona at about 8:00 p.m., but we will take totally different routes!
In April Jesse came home from Australia via San Francisco and had a long enough lay-over to see a bit of Fisherman's Wharf etc. So we decided that might be kind of fun for us too, so we deliberately booked a flight with a lay-over in San Fran. But Jesse's connections could only be made through Seattle, and into Honolulu, where HE will have a long lay-over! So while we tour San Francisco, the one who could have guided us around will be sight-seeing in Honolulu. How ironic!
But once in Kona we will all be together volunteering at the University of the Nations for 5 weeks!
Then Kara will come by herself on Dec. 14, and Len will join us on Dec. 19, the day we are done work! From there we are booked into a Bed and Breakfast for the next week, over Christmas, our base while we tour around the island. We will also spend a few days on the other side of the island at Hilo, before flying to Honolulu for a few days. We get home on Dec. 31, and will actually all be on the same flight! (if all goes as planned!)
