When I was married to my first husband, we went on a fantastic vacation with his grand parents. We flew first class from the East Coast to Hawaii. The trip was very long, but since we went first class we were very comfortable. That was the only vacation I’ve ever had where we were in the first class section of the airplane. I can’t imagine a trip that long in the coach section of a plane. As far as I’m concerned every flight that goes overseas like that should have ALL first class seats!
Anyway, what was so nice about the trip was that his grandparents had vacationed there many times before and they took us around the islands as our tour guides. They showed us the best local Restaurants and Coffee Shops, and we stayed in the best Hotels on the islands. We were so impressed at how friendly everybody seemed to be, and we wondered if it was a genuine friendliness or simply “part of the job.” I’d like to think that it was genuine friendliness, but that is something I’d definitely want more information on if we ever decided to move there (which is a huge fantasy of mine!) Living on a tropical island is definitely something I’d love to do!
