Finally, They are adding flights rather than subtracting at Central Japan International Airport! It used to be so great that I could go direct from Seattle to Nagoya, but then it all changed, and I was forced to go through either Tokyo or San Francisco to get home. I guess it is only a few hours, but still... its the principal of the thing, and besides, they are MY few hours! I need those!

So where will these new routes lead? Not Rome this time, but Honolulu-umbrella drinks for all! Daily service to Honolulu aboard one of Nagoya's favorite companies, a Boeing 767-300ERwith 216 seats is scheduled to begin Dec. 22-assuming government approval (Here's hoping!).

I am formulating a plan for weekends in Hawaii as we speak... see you there!
