In this first part of a two part episode, Mama wins a trip for four to Hawaii and takes Bubba, Vint and Naomi. IOla manages to tag along on her own payment to go to Hawaii. Thelma has always dreamed of going to Hawaii and actress Vicki Lawrence and her family lived in Maui after the Carol Burnett Show ended before coming to Mama's Family. In this episode, they throw their flowers and pray that love will come true. In fact, Bubba finds a Hawaiian girlfriend, Iola finds a suitable Norwegian sailor, and Thelma who threw her whole lei in the waters is being chased down by Bill Fields, a beach bum. She saves his life and he falls for Thelma. Of course, their Hawaiian dream vacation is that for them a dream come true. It's memorable about Naomi getting burnt when Vint puts the wrong cream on her. Vint takes up golfing and makes unlikely friends with golfers and businessmen who talk business. Once Vint gets talking about what Naomi does for a living as a cashier. The businessmen thinks she's another market broker and not a supermarket cashier but when they start making money. Vint's not so silly after all.

Cute episode

A treat to see Seinfeld's (Mort Seinfeld - Jerry's father) Barney Martin. He was really quite heavy in this episode lounging at the Hawaiian hotel beach with Thelma (Vicki Lawrence). The episode's results of romance were predictable, but done in clever humorous ways. All accept Bubba's romantic connection. An island beauty just shows up at the beach throwing herself at Bubba seemed a bit of a stretch. But maybe they'll be some sense made of it in the upcoming part 2. Iola's romantic connection with her Norwegian boat cook was fun to see Iola getting some good fortune which is unusual. It appeared they had a little rainy weather on the days of the shooting in part 1. Overall a well done entertaining episode.
