Katelynn Joy and I went on the trip of a lifetime aboard the USS John C. Stennis for Tiger Cruise 2007. Katelynn and I flew from San Diego on August 20 and Scott met us at baggage claim in Honolulu at about 2:00 PM. Scott rented a convertible car and off we went to enjoy Honolulu for a day and a half. We stayed at the Outrigger Waikiki on the beach.

Katelynn had the top "rack" on the far left and I was on the one below. Home sweet home.
