OneFreeman... Aloha and welcome back to FlyerTalk. For the record, travel reports are NOT considered OMNI (if the folks at Inside Flyer disagree please let me know.)
But I hope despite the frustrations you and
your lovely bride had a wonderful and unforgettable honeymoon. (hope you're feeling better too!)

A few suggestions on your travel experiences:

*I would write Alamo and National and tell them of the problems with the dirty and stalled cars and service. At least Alamo should refund part of your rental. Then you can take your wife out for dinner. That is
inexcuseable. (Read the postings on ALAMO,
ALAMO A NO GO FOR THE CAT.)

*Wondered why I could not find you at SAN but
I too had problems finding the First Class/Premier check-in. Sign was turned sideways, one Premier check-in window open
(though the agent was friendly.) I told him
they should have a mega sized signed for us
to check in faster.
(the other problem was CLoud9 Shuttle guy was late, nervous and missed the airport turnoff!)

*SFO as QuietLion said is crazy and can be
daunting. In the UA terminal I head for the
circular bar in the middle of the concourse
before the gates and tell the bartender to serve me a Sam Adams straight up and keep them coming. It may be high priced but I need somethign to get me through the delays and craziness there! The UA staff there can be helpful or totally braindead.

*Have not flown Aloha but is it worth a try guys?

*Go back to Maui a.s.a.p. In fact we all should try to get there every few years. I'm ready to go back. That would be a great place for a FlyerTalk convention. It's also
one of the two places I'd like to honeymoon
(other is Paris.)

Anyway, hope you are feeling better my friend. CATMAN
