Aloha Honolulu 10/12/2009
 
The day starts early with a 6 am wake-up call.  I am already weary as I did not sleep well last night.  Unbelievable as I was physically exhausted by 2 hours in the ocean on Sunday.  But after a quick breakfast, I check out of the hotel and take the shuttle to the Honolulu International Airport. Check in with ANA was smooth as silk.  I simply rolled my luggage into the ANA Club line and walked right up to a check-in line.  Showed my passport and they weighed my luggage.  They claimed the one bag was over by a pound, but no extra charge.  I would hope not.  I weighed the bag and it was not over the 50 pound limit. My luggage is checked all the way to Pudong International Airport in Shanghai.  As I approached the rather lengthy TSA line, I saw the Gold Line for All Airlines.  I slipped right through without waiting.  Even though I have a TSA approved Laptop case, I still must remove my little Asus Eee PC net-book and allow it to ride in a gray tub through the x-ray machine.  Still it is rather quick and I gather my items and proceed to the United/ANA lounge to await my flight.  The lounge does not have free Internet service, but it is comfortable with refreshments and power for my computer.  So here I am awaiting the call for my flight. 

Next stop Narita International Airport. Hopefully there will be free wireless Internet there as I have 4 hours to catch up on my email and blog. May I add how much I love my netbook.  It is light and easy to carry.
