Go!

Last Friday, Kim had a meeting on Maui to attend - helping navigate the planning of a solar telescope on Haleakalā - and Lily didn't have school that day...so Jake and I ditched school and work and we all took a trip to another island on Go! Airlines. Kim persevered and snagged the $19 each way fares for all of us so it wound up almost as cheap as a trip to the waterpark !

Added a new plane to my lifelist (do people have these? if not they should) - CRJ 200 . Brand spanking new I might add.

While Kim was listening to testimonies, the three of us plus Dano, Ekela, Kuanoni, Kalei and Tutu went to the 84th annual Maui County Fair....along with the entire county of Maui - MAN that place was packed! Rode rides, ate junk food, walked around - never got to see the ginormous pumpkin though :( - otherwise a classic county fair experience.

NOTE: Go! is owned by Mesa Airlines....I know this guy who used to fly for Mesa, but then he moved to Memphis when he got a job with FedEx - hooooo weee!

Still psyched to fly

Already a jaded traveller
