It took about an hour of sitting on the tarmac to get to our gate. Apparently a small plane crashed and caught fire on the runway this morning and it threw the entire airport into chaos for the day.

It’s very Hawaii though. You get off the plane onto the tarmac, and the “gate” is a series of, well, huts.


A nice welcome really, sets the tone.
Now we get to wait an hour for our bags to be unloaded. It appears that they’ve got 2 guys to do all the baggage handling for the entire airport. Ah well, it’s lovely.
Glad you all made it there safely!
