What a reassuring sight: our tropical-livery airplane already was parked at the gate marked "Lihue." After a long, cold and busy winter, we've been looking forward to our Hawaii getaway. My father's celebrating 89 years this year—and my nieces and nephews are a foot taller each time I see them. The jolly aircraft, being prepared for departure in sunny Denver (shown above), was nearly ready for boarding. I love the United flight from Denver to Lihue. If you can snag an upgrade, that route has lie-flat seats (which the flights from LAX and SFO do not).

Unexpectedly, we landed as a tropical storm was hitting the island. Who'd have thought that Denver would be sunnier—more tropical—than Kauai (shown above)? But I'm back where I grew-up. And rainy weather, even storms, don't tend to linger in Hawaii. Hoping for nice, warm weather shortly.
