It didn’t seem like it would ever happen. Ray’s Make A Wish was to go to Hawaii, but repeated hospitalizations seemed to make it impossible to coordinate the trip. At one point the trip was planned, the tickets issued, but Ray ended up back in the hospital. Make A Wish Mid-Atlantic wasn’t phased, they kept trying and waiting for it to the right time for Ray. Finally, October 3rd, 2014 the limo arrived (pre-dawn) and took us all to Dulles Airport. Everywhere we went, Ray was treated like royalty. The entire experience was phenomenal. The Waikiki Sheraton provided amazing accommodations and the affiliate chapter in Honolulu made sure everything was in place and ready. There are just too many people to thank for such a great experience. Ray loved every minute of it and didn’t want to come home.
There were so many pictures taken that it’s hard to choose a few to represent the whole week, but here are a few.
