Didn't say welcome to Hawaii and just put the lei's around our neck, also the name of the party wasn't correct and it was just placed inside the front window. It should've been labeled Bultman/Rippetoe party. I would have thought he would have been standing outside the vehicle with the name. The only thing I was happy about was the vehicle of transportation was very nice and roomy for our party of 7.”
