Another couple dove with them and seemed happy with them.

The resort was full. Weather was perfect. Sunny, breezy and dead flat
seas.
Water temp was 84-86F.

We went FLL-IAH-HNL-GUM, 3+8.5+7.5+2=21 hrs in the air+ a couple more
on the ground.
CO was late, late, late all the way.
We walked off one plane and on to the other as they closed the doors.
Amazingly, four out of four checked bags made it too. I was impressed.

> Why are both you and the bullshark taking the longer route?

Uhhh...what makes you think I took a longer route?
I said the flights were arduous, I didn't say what route I took.

I booked the PPR myself on-line and with e-mail to the reservations
contact on their website. They were very helpful and accomodating.

The resort is beautiful. I wish we could have stayed there longer. The
food was good, and the water pure. All US electrical.
