We loaded on the beautiful Plane and couldn't help but notice the sweet perfumy smell of the comfortable looking seats and beautiful hostess girls all greeting us with big smiles, as I started slipping in a dual seat space Leroy slipped his small frame passed me and sat at the window seat saying, "I need to wave good bye to my Mom as we fly over Kaimuki". we laughed and he said, " just kidding brah, you can have the window". and I said, "no, seat down and be quite". The girls were real pros, making us all feel like we were someone special circulating throughout the flight making small talk with every one. We got to know everyone of them and their family history.



We landed on Johnson Island and I thought  we were going to over-run it and wind-up on the other side in the sea. We rushed to what we were a quick lunch while the plane refuelled and found out it was still Breakfast time so settled for Bacon and Eggs. We agai landed on another Island this time Midway and again thought it was lunch before realizing it was still Breakfast, you guessed it, Bacon and Eggs again.

The flight attendants or hostesses as they were then called started passing around whiskey and vodka miniature bottles to everyone as we drank and became merrymen, some of them casanovas as they were pulling them on their laps and kissing up a storm, Leroy and I, both were shy guys and wasn't so aggressive, besides, we were both thinking and talking about Betty Lou as she told us was her full name as we kissed on every time we were called on "Alert" as we took advantage even though we knew it was only a training exersise, good thing because we never got to see her and get a kiss as it turned out. I asked Leroy was he thinking of Betty Lou too and He replied, "I don't know who I love more, your sister Virginia or Betty Lou and we both busted-out laughing. I never had the heart to tell him my sister was married so he never knew.
