We’re back in Hawaii for our 30th Anniversary.  It’s our fourth visit to the Hyatt on Kauai.  We flew direct for the first time.  In the past we’ve flown on Hawaiian Airlines to Honolulu and transferred to a smaller plane to Lihue on Kauai.  Now Alaska Airlines flies direct from Seattle to Lihue.  Our flight took almost seven hours and was quite turbulent.  The other issue with this route is arriving around 9:30pm.  But we’re here!
