And they're off...

A quick post to let everyone know that Alana and Nicole are on the way. They posed for a few pictures but once we got to the serious things like getting tickets and checking luggage, they forgot about the rest of us. Amazingly, Alana was 1 pound under the weight for one suitcase before she would have had to pay for the transport of her luggage . Talk about great packing...

Nicole and Alana are finally showing excitement about their flight to Hawaii, as Alana mentioned, it still doesn't seem real.

Pulling out of the driveway.

Arrival at airport.

Chay and Blade moving quickly by running on the moving belt... as if they need to be moving quicker...I can't keep up with them as it is.

The excitement grows as we are in the terminal waiting for the elevator.



Alana getting assistance to obtain her boarding pass without a confirmation number or bar code. It's amazing, you just swipe something with your name connected to it, like a debit card and the machine pulls up the ticket assigned to your name. Technology is amazing.

The two single girls "leaving on a jet plane..." for Paradise.
....at the security checkpoint...
"only passengers with boarding passes beyond this point"

Chay not too happy about going back to the vehicle instead of boarding a plane with Nicole and Alana.
