Update

Update on Hawaii...

Tried the Friday flights.  All oversold.  Told us not to come back until Monday.  So we got an extra weekend in Hawaii, which was nice (although out bags went to Los Angeles).  On Monday, we tried again.  Thought we'd be safe because the flight through San Francisco had 85 empty seats.  Unfortunately there were 115 standby travellers trying to get on the same flight.  So...Trevor was given a seat while the rest of the crew wasn't.

A decision was made based on work schedules that Trevor would fly home and then the rest of the family would fly back on Wednesday on Hawaiian Airlines on a full fare ticket.  The good news is that they made the flight (despite heavy Honolulu traffic).  The bad news is that she was left to go solo in terms of herding three kids under the age of 6 through two different airports.  Not pretty.  She pulled off a miracle, though, and made it home finally on Wednesday night.

Trevor had the house cleaned and laundry folded for her when she got home so she could relax a bit after the travel beatdown she took. 

Phew.  That was the never-ending vacation.
