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.
Baggage ClaimThe Terminal
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.
Apparently a small plane crashed at Kona Airport this morning, so we’re parked on the tarmac for an undetermined amount of time before they can bring us to the gate.
I mean, I know the stores starting putting up Christmas trees in early to mid September, but I’m putting some Christmas lights in the front yard just now and the garden seems to be giving me some conflicting data…
Oh well, guess I’ll trust the calendar and take the Christmas trees out…
