1977, 23 years old, saved like mad to take my new bride to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Never forget, paid $248 RT each through a travel agent (remember those!) on CO. The CPI calculator http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl says thats now $873.84. Just found a fare for comparison on expedia for $440. Half price! Ah, the good new days!
