San Diego Comicon wrap up and the flight to Maui

July 28

Got to bed at 2 AM and was sleeping deeply when the alarm went off at 6 AM. I guess the five days of Comicon were stressful (although it didn’t seem that way or I else I don’t want to admit it) as I was finally able to sleep deeply after it was over. I also had a big red spot in my eye from a burst blood vessel the whole time I was in San Diego which immediately started to go away on Monday after SDCC was over. It started in the San Francisco airport where I had to fight to get priority standby to San Diego so we wouldn’t miss Preview Night and it just kept getting worse until the Con was over.

I felt satisfied with the work we put in at Comicon and the whole experience in general — right up to when I realized that the cab driver had dropped us off at the wrong terminal. We were supposed to go to the commuter terminal which is at the beginning of the airport. Still made our flight with plenty to of time to spare. We did have to buy an extra bag because 2 of our bags were overweight. The good news? San Diego airport has free wi-fi, which no other airport has, it seems.

Got to LAX fine and then to Honolulu. The following shots are from the plane from Honolulu to Kahului.

Next to the HNL airport is Hickham, the Air Force base, which is next to Pearl Harbor.

Coming into Maui.

A lovely rainbow to greet us as we landed!
Dinner with a view of the sunset.

First part of the trip, mission accomplished. The bag that wasn’t on the baggage carousel when we got in was delivered to the condo later that night as well, so we start tomorrow off without a missing bag as a problem that needs to be solved. Hallelujah!!
