My wife and I are planning a very big move (Honolulu to Washington, DC)
for Spring 2007. We have two male cats that we will be taking with us.
Both are healthy, and are a bit over two years old.

I am desperate for any advice regarding transporting our cats. Ideally
I'd like to take them in-cabin as carry-ons, but it appears many
airlines don't allow this on transpacific flights. The idea of
sending them as checked baggage frightens me, but I might not have a
choice. I'm also curious as to anyone's experience with
professional pet transporters like Pets Away.

Again, any advice/thoughts/experiences would be helpful. I'd
especially like to hear from anyone who has made similar Hawaii-to-East
Coast moves.

Thanks,
