２０１９Hawaii Trip＃１

I will greet those who have helped me in my retirement and take over.

Since I had plenty of paid time, I set an early retirement date.

Clients gave me warm words of encouragement, and I feel that all the work I have done up to this point has not been in vain.

Once you decide to retire, you have to think about what to do next. I have been working so hard and not taking much time off, so I decided to take it easy and go on a trip.

It takes a lot of courage to go alone, but I decided to go to Hawaii as an extension (?) of my business trip. I decided to go to Hawaii via Oahu Island.

I prepared to go to the Big Island of Hawaii via Oahu and adjusted my schedule.

I thought about which flight to take and decided to fly on ANA’s large plane with Honu painted on it.

First, we went to Itami Airport to complete the formalities for Haneda Airport.

When you go through check-in procedures at the reception desk, you are told, “Kuala Lumpur via Haneda! I am told.

Kuala Lumpur? Where? Malaysia?

I repeatedly check my full name, but I am told that it is via Kuala Lumpur. I don’t know what’s going on, but I thought it would be okay, and then the information clerk told me that there was someone with the same name! I was so glad to hear that.

I will be able to go to Oahu and Hawaii via Haneda as planned.

It is a wonder why I thought for a moment that Kuala Lumpur was okay, but it really seemed so at the time.

I arrived at Haneda Airport and had plenty of time to kill before my flight to Oahu.

In the evening, I went to the lounge.🍺

I seem to be the only one.

Everyone is either a family or a couple (of course).

Finally, it is boarding time.

The plane is huge! This time I booked a premium seat, so I am on the second floor.

First and business seats are in the front, and premium seats are in the back.

The first floor is economy and there are some couch seats.

It is better to sleep on the plane, but I was a little excited and watching a movie all the time when the announcement of landing came.

How will I get on a plane to the Big Island of Hawaii next? I am anxious.

Since I am not here on a tour, I have to do all the formalities by myself.

I move to the domestic terminal and get behind a line of people.

A large dog was sniffing for any suspicious items in front of the counter.

I was very nervous, but I passed through the counter without incident, went through boarding procedures, and boarded the plane.
