Thread: A quick trip report for a quick trip - HNL

In the old days before the Casual Clothing Dress Codes - you could always pick out the non revs - they were the one dressed like penquins in tuxedos and modest dresses - no bare skin or flipflop shoes.
Back then too the opportunity to ride the First Cabin was not much of a problem - AA hadn't invented the Frequent Flyer miles upgrade circus yet - And the meals the service and the thrill of a red carpet
arrival with leis - then the mad dash to get out of those non-rev duds to head to the beach for a Mai-Tai and a luau - the fleeting suns rays before the night partying starts. The Pearl City Tavern with its
monkey bar and bonsai garden were one of my favorites as well as Buzz's Steakhouse - Oh those were the days - the beer was Primo which always got a party started as a primer cheap thrill.
Then after the partying was over having to get suitably dressed to pass agent inspection of the non rev uniform to board the flight back to the mainland. Darn red-eye flights back to the mainland dressed
in straight jackets - no rest or comfort - don't even think about removing that tie ! BUT FOLKS IT WAS WORTH IT ! The good ole days are nothing but history and fond rememberances !

Thanks spongebue for rekindling those memories !
