Wake Island (USA)

Ate breakfast at Denny's this morning.  Checked out of the Outrigger Reef Hotel early and headed back to Hickam Field.  After getting the aircraft ready, we left Hawaii and headed west.  I'd heard of Wake Island (World War II history studies), but I never thought I would get to visit. After about four hours of flight time from Honolulu, it was amazing to see this little sand-bar looking island pop up out of the blue... Before landing, we took an tour (flew around the whole island). Lunch was a box of Thai noodles and chicken - very good. A typhoon was standing in the way of our route to Japan, so Brant and Keith decided we should fly over to Guam.  After getting permission from Home Base, we departed Wake and flew west. [skipped a day in my life because we crossed the International Date Line before landing]
