Trip to Kauai part 2
Well after a few hours of sleep, it was time to head to the airport. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:30am. So we got to the terminal a couple hours ahead of time. We checked in our bags and went to security. Instead of going through the extremely long line the put us on a bus to Tom Bradley International terminal to go through security. After a quick walk through security we boarded the AA shuttle bus. After standing around for a while, the driver finally showed up.

After the little bus ride, we went up and walked over to gate 49 I think. Since boarding had not begun yet, my parents and sister went to get a snack. Then boarding began, we were in group 1 for boarding since we got our tickets from Alaska. On board our aircraft there was a pillow and a blanket waiting for us in every seat. After everybody was on board the safety video was shown. We taxied out to the runway and did a straight out departure over to Hawaii. The air was smooth today for our 5hr and 45min flight. We got a beverage service shortly after takeoff and then a meal service. You had the choice of purchasing a snack box or a sandwich. I started out with a snack box because I wasnt that hungry. Later on I purchased a sandwich, it was quite good. Two movies were shown, as it was a holiday, we saw The Incredibles and Lemony Snicketts:A series of unforunate events. I didnt listen to the movies, instead I listened to channel 3, the classic rock channel
.
Here is a photo out over the Pacific:
After what seemed ages, I finally saw land, it was the private island. Then we began the descent. We did a turn and landed. Here are some photos:
and here are the planes at the airport when we arrived. The UA left for SFO not too much longer.
After we disembarked into one of the nicest terminals I have ever seen and been in. It is pretty much an open air terminal.
That concludes part 2. I will post my return trip and the biplane ride later.
