We were very excited this morning, up at 6:00 and at the airport at 7:00 - very early for Campbell River, the cook was the only one there...we got to have breakfast before anyone else arrived. Connie (our house-sitter) drove us to the airport, Warren arrived shortly thereafter, we were quite surprised by his early attendance, I guess he thought he better see us off as it will be a long time before he sees us again...not on skype.
We were the only two people leaving the Campbell River Airport at 9:00 a.m. - we got the royal treatment, we both got patted down. After all of the problems at the airports lately, we decided we would be very cautious. Considering all of the talk they were very lax at the YVR, much to our surprise. We could have had our carry on and Dalton could have had his computer case. The customs officer was really nice, told us that Hawaii was closed and we couldn't get in...didn't think they had a sense of humour.
We arrived safe and sound in Hawaii, took an hour to get a shuttle and get to the hotel. We checked in, ditched our bags and did a walking tour of the area. Had dinner at a little pub close to the hotel and it is now midnight - have to hit the sack as we have to get to Maui tomorrow...then the holiday will really begin. Hope they bring two cars to pick us up at the airport.

Glad to hear you didn't have too many problems getting out of the country. It should be smooth sailing from here on in. Enjoy the warm weather; Hawaii is the only warm place right now.
