We woke up extra-early today to catch our 6 am flight from Kahului to Honolulu. We were worried about the availability of an Uber or Lyft at 4 am, but luckily, there were cars available, so we arrived at the airport without problem. But guess what… the airport workers don’t start until 5 am, so we had to wait (with a few other travelers) in the empty airport for a bit to check in our bags. But I was just happy we made it to the airport. 😌
We made it to Honolulu to catch our flight to Austin, and found the Li Hing powder for sale at the airport store, which was funny because we searched quite a bit in other stores in Wailuku and Kahului, before finding it in a small store in the town of Haiku. But I guess we just weren’t looking in the right place? Anyways, we didn’t have to buy it at the airport.
The flight back to Austin was fine, and I watched Top Gun: Maverick and wrote a bunch of blog posts. A good 7-hour flight.
Now it’s time for sleep. Oyasu!
I’m encountered arriving to the airport so early that the airport itself wasn’t open yet! But yes, at least you weren’t late to your flight…glad you were productive on the flight home!
