Obama arrives in Hawai'i for holidays

President-elect Barack Obama arrived Hawai'i for a 10-day holiday vacation.

Obama and his family landed in Oahu aboard a privately-chartered United Airlines 767 on Saturday for the Christmas and New Year holidays.

Sources say that Obama's family together with his sister Maya's family will hold a private funeral service for his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, while they are in Hawaii. Dunham died on the eve of her grandson's historic election win after a bout with cancer.

The media reports that family friends of the Obamas, traveling separately, will join the family during their Hawaiian vacation. The Associated Press reports that the Obamas have rented a beach home in the quiet town of Kailua near Honolulu.
