Spring 2023:

Currently booking flights on Hawaiian Air for my mother (out in Texas) and myself, flying back to Japan via Japan Airlines. So my mother can hang out with me in Japan and help me buy the house for The Makuhari Club.

First stop will be the Royal Hawaiian for Oahu for four nights, then four nights at properties to be determined on the Big Island, Maui, and Kauai.

If you have followed previous posts in other threads, this trip was supposed to be this year, but my father passed away right before we were to go and right after my mother's birthday (which the trip was supposed to celebrate), and obviously a trip to Hawaii was about the least important thing imaginable. Still I firmly believe that getting through this trip with an amazing experience is key to my mother's process. Right now this unfinished trip and my father's death are mentally linked.

I'm pulling out all the stops, using a decade's worth of points and miles, calling in favors, and not above using our bereavement to ensure this is the greatest experience of my mother's life, if possible.

Any tips or tricks from my fellow Centralites would be so incredibly appreciated.
