Hi Everyone! A bit busy here in Orlando - Trying to tie up loose ends as
'Leaving On A Jet Plane' in 3 days - Orlando to the Hawaiian Islands. You
probably recall my posting that I traveled Mainland to Hawaii many times
in the past. My husband was once an employee of both United and American
Airlines and he and I, our 9 children flew employee standby rates. I recall
the round trip cost of my first ticket -First Class - was around $28.00 on a
747 double deck 747 Jumbo Jet.
I have had great experiences in Hawaii - a stay at Halemoku Navy Base on
Pearl Harbor, two years living in Waikiki when I attended UHM - University
of Hawaii, Manoa. I am going back in a few days to visit family who live there
and to visit the piece of my heart and soul that I left there when I moved back
to the Mainland. ALOHA NUI LOA - Aloha, very much love ~ Jane

"Hawaii - The loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean."
~Mark Twain
"I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant
a month before, or bade any place so regretfully. I have not once
thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness,
and the memory of it will remain with me always." ~Mark Twain
" Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there's music in the air
there." ~Bruno Mars
"Nature is where it all begins for the Hawaiians. In fact, they call themselves
'keiki o ka aina' - children of the land."
~M.J. Harden
"I believe Hawaii is the most precious jewel in the world." ~Don Ho

the stars." ~Joanne Harris

"Hawaii is the island of big dreams for both islanders and guests. Those
dreams born in paradise can, indeed come true." ~Sharon Linnea " It is essential that none of the other great powers shall secure these

with peace of the world." ~Benjamin Harrison
