Hawaii is terrific. The flight is interminable.


That is what keeps us from going to New Zealand.
I would go if they could "beam" me there but 18 hours on a plane is
too much for me, even in 1st class..



I've got a high school chum who is a physician in Australia and is
always nudging me to "come for a visit." I was there in the 1960's. I
liked it but the flight was just awful. Pre-9/11, though, at least you
could walk around the plane and stand up at the back of the plane with
the other long-legged guys and chat.

The only way I'd go back to Hawaii is to split up the flight...here to
the Left Coast, a night or two in San Francisco, and then to Hawaii.
