Well, tomorrow is the big day. We have an early morning flight; should get to Honolulu at around 2 pm local time (8 pm eastern time). We're staying at the Hilton for a few days and moving to Aulani afterward. Not sure how good the Wifi is at the Hilton (three years ago it was absolute carp; hopefully it has improved), but I know it's decent at Aulani. So if you don't hear from me other than "Yes, we safely landed" for a few days, that's why.
Interestingly enough, all of us qualify for TSA Pre Check.

Don't know how that happened; but we'll take it.
A little nervous, new airline, unfamiliar airport (Salt Lake City), but it's part of the adventure!
