It was 1978 from PHL to ITO(Hilo,Hawaii) to visit my sister who was living on the Big Island. I was 17yrs old.

I remember this... AA B727 PHL-DFW, AA B707 DFW-SAN, overnighted at the Sheraton at SAN Airport. Next morning, Western Airlines B707 SAN-HNL, then Hawaiian Airlines DC9 HNL-ITO.

After a month stay the return was about the same but via SFO and DFW to PHL. I remember they ran out of potable water and were going to stop serving Breakfast right before my row. Thank goodness I heard the Flight Attendant say if anyone needs to wash their hands we have soda water!

Talk about a trip to Paradise at a young age. I will never forgot it all for $358.00 USD roundtrip!

Thanks Dad!
