The service was really good.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nWe left for Hawaii on Saturday evening, 2009-05-16.  Sadly, the day<br \/>\nbefore I started to get sick.  At about 3pm in the afternoon I came<br \/>\ndown with a splitting headache, after having a sore throat all<br \/>\nmorning.  This was bad because I don&#8217;t like being sick, airplanes<br \/>\nusually dry my throat out as it is, and worse, the first two cases of<br \/>\nH1N1 Influenza spread by person-to-person contact between people who<br \/>\nhad not been out of the country had just been confirmed on the news.<br \/>\nI was worried that they would not let me out of the country.  Or<br \/>\nback.  Or something.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThat evening was pretty tough, but at least we didn&#8217;t have to leave<br \/>\nearly.  Our flight out wasn&#8217;t until about 9pm.  We did some pre-travel<br \/>\nshopping, packed up, and just barely made it to Shinagawa in time to<br \/>\ncatch our Narita Express.  In the end though we made it.  The trip<br \/>\nthrough the airport was as usual, but nobody pulled me out or accused<br \/>\nme of being sick (even though I was.)  We made it on the plane though,<br \/>\nno problem.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWe flew ANA, which was nice.  Very good service.  The flight was about<br \/>\n8 hours.  I couldn&#8217;t sleep, but I did watch Gran Turino, a very good<br \/>\nmovie.  They were running a whole Clint Eastwood marathon, with a<br \/>\nbunch of his movies.  I spent a lot of time playing &#8220;Lord of the<br \/>\nRings: Battle for Middle Earth&#8221; &#8211; I only made it through the first two<br \/>\nmissions.  It seems like a pretty good game, but I don&#8217;t really like<br \/>\nreal time strategy games.  I want to take my time and plan out moves.<br \/>\nBasically, I like turn based games.  Still, I guess I have to get<br \/>\ndragged into the 20th century at some point or another, so I might as<br \/>\nwell try to get used to the real time strategy paradigm.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe landing was really tough: because of my cold I was congested, so<br \/>\nchanging altitude was really tough on me.  I thought my head was about<br \/>\nto explode, or at least my eardrums.  I did manage to get through it,<br \/>\nalthough my nose did start bleeding a bit.  Great.  When we landed in<br \/>\nHawaii, happily, nobody pulled me over for being sick.  Maybe I didn&#8217;t<br \/>\nlook as bad as I felt.\n<\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These are my notes from our Wedding trip to Hawaii.
