Alaska Airlines got me from Anchorage, Alaska to Honolulu on O’ahu island part of the Hawaiian chain. It was a 9 hour trek to the geographically disconnected 50th state. Albeit the tourist beach town of Waikiki provided my residence for a few days, my only objectives were to visit the state capital in Honolulu and ride a BMW motorcycle. Exploration of the extensive Hawaiian Island chain comprising Kaua’i, O’ahu, Molaka’t, Lana’t, Maui and Hawai’i, will have to wait for a future expedition!
