Day one

Woke up at 4:15 am and drove to PDX. Krystal did not chicken out and is still going lol. And by not chickening out I mean Camden did not object to her going lol. Traffic was light and we made it to the airport at 6:30am. The check in process went pretty smoothly. We had already signed up on the Safe Travels website so all of our information was already in the system. We got these awesome orange bracelets to let everyone know we are covid free😃

TSA was quick too. This is one of the good things about traveling right now.

No crowds or long lines of people. A lot of the businesses were not open throughout the airport but this could have been because we were there so early. We wore both a mask and a face shield. Everyone that I saw was wearing a mask or two. Krystal sprayed everything I touched, was going to touch or thought about touching lol.

Boarded Airbus 321-neo. Did I mention we are flying first class? Well it’s not 747 first class but it’s nice. Hawaiian Airlines first class is way better than Alaska Airlines first class😃. Lots of room to stretch out and they have foot rests to use instead of my backpack.

They let us use their ipads for TV and movies and we got a pillow and a blanket. Breakfast was really good.

The flight went fine. No turbulence. Got to use the special bathroom.

Rented a Jeep Grande Cherokee. Boring lol. The highlight of the rental process was when I was yelling Krystal’s name so she could give them her ID and the guy next to her asked if her name was Pretzel😂😂😂 so that’s her new nickname, Pretzel lol.

Stopped at Costco for food supplies. Forgot water🙄.

Checked into our airbnb. We are on the third floor. No elevator. My bag weighed 35lbs Krystal’s was 43lbs. Haha, I beat her up the stairs.

Walked down the street to the beach for the sunset.

Gorgeous.
