Our first time in Hawaii – Story and Itinerary

I had been looking at plane tickets for Lena and me to visit Hawaii for seven years, but tickets were always too expensive. This was the year, though! As I did every so often, I looked at tickets on OneTravel.com, round-trip, and a hotel room for me, and Lena was $1,507.77 – what?! YES! Sign me up. There ended up being a long layover in L.A., but we made the most of that too by getting a quaint motel, going to the beach (where we saw a pod of dolphins), and eating at a delicious vegan restaurant called Veggie Grill in El Segundo, CA.
