That's a good start.  From there, what Connie and I did once, is point to a
couple of overstuffed chairs in the lobby and say "We'll be over there
sleeping, wake us when there's a room available."  Got us an immediate check-in
with an upgraded room, at 8/9am (the delay from the inter-island hop added some
time for us to get to...Kona IIRC).  Wasn't really the plan...but what the
heck.

Well...when something works why change, set in my ways, can't teach an old dog
new tricks, never do today what you can totally ignore tomorrow, etcetera...why
change?
