I checked my ticket and my flight was tonight!
Tomoko had a toothache so we didn't have any big plans anyway for this day. We found a dentist for her. She had an infection in one of her back teeth.
Then we did more shopping for souvenirs and went back to the condo. I started packing, Tomoko took a nap and Kevin played with Kenny.
For lunch Kevin cooked hamburgers on the grill.
Kenny and I both developed a taste for "Maui Chips." He let me hold him for a photo op as long as I gave him chips.
We drove to the airport and Kenny fell asleep in the car.
I had a direct return flight to Houston. Unfortunately, even though I asked for special seating I ended up in a very cramped economy seat for 8 hours. I couldn't even get out of the seat when the row in front of me reclined. Luckily the stewardess was able to raise the aisle armrest to let me out.
I got up at least 4 times, walked around, did leg exercises. Despite all that I am stuck here at home with a case of phlebitis. I'm wearing horrible support stockings. My doctor is going to send me to a peripheral venous specialist. United had given me good seats on my flights to Hawaii. I had no way of knowing how bad my seat would be until after I boarded the plane. Then it was to late to switch or upgrade.
I will have to buy economy plus from now on. United Airlines wanted $600.00 for the economy plus seat which would have provided me with one extra foot of legroom. My whole round trip ticket was $1200.00. In hindsight, I now realize that I should have paid that extra money and I could be at work today. At least I'm getting my blogging accomplished.
