Island history. . .

One of the great benefits to working at a hotel is that you get to meet interesting folks from all over the world.

Recently, we had a guest and her husband down here and she was born in Hawaii. We got to talking and she said that her grandfather (or maybe it was great-grandfather) was a pilot way back in the day in the Islands, and the main airport in Maui (code: OGG) is named after him: Bertram J. Hogg.

Pretty cool to meet someone with ties back to the Islands.
