2013 Hawaii - Day Thirteen - To Sacramento

We had a buffet breakfast at the hotel, packed up the room and were headed to the airport about 8:30 am. We caught a 11:19 am flight from Maui to Honolulu. With a two hour layover, we had a bite to eat. We boarded a 1:59 pm flight to Sacramento. With the time change, we landed a little ahead of schedule about 10:05 pm. We were home a little after 11:00 pm.

A couple of notes from the trip. First, Sharon spent the four days that we were on Maui talking about a bar called Blackie's that she had visited with Paul when she was on Maui 25 years ago.

It was the right building. The area around the bar was sold to a developer and closed in 1995.

Second, When we were in Italy last year, I noted how much bigger and stronger Jack has gotten. I got a little bit of a shock on Friday morning. As we were packing up the room, I turned and literally was standing nose to nose with Jack. As you can see in several of the pictures, he is almost as tall as I am...
