LAX United Red Carpet Club 4:45 PST

Well so far things have been fairly uneventful if not necessarily enjoyable. I am still having the same leg space problems I always have, and it hasn't helped with the people putting their seats back in front of me. I do need to look into economy plus on the way back, with more seating space, but we shall see how much that cost is. I do know that the upgrade fee for the flight to Honolulu from LAX was $390 dollars, and that just isn't worth it for a few extra inches of room. We are here for another hour and a half, enjoying free snacks and free drinks, though unlike Delta, alcohol is not free here in the United Club. So I am not quite sure the space is worth the one time charge of $38, but it was worth checking out.

The flight from Orlando to Denver was pretty good, though it was quite bumpy during the last hour or so as storms were approaching the Denver airport. We decided to buy the onboard sandwich selection: I had Turkey Breast on Stone Ground Wheat, Lisa had Thai Chicken Wrap. Lisa and I disembarked from the airplane in Denver, made a quick survey of the airport, only to realize we were getting right back on to the same exact plane with the same exact seats. The flight to LA left an hour late due to storms, so while our layover is shorter, it was kinda stressful sitting on an hot aircraft on the tarmac during that time. Still the flight was okay, and while you don't get to see a lot of a city from its airport, at least it is another city, and another spot to relax in.

At least the flight to Honolulu is on a different aircraft so we will see. Five more hours to go, after the flight leaves at 6:37 PST tonight. We have already been traveling for 8.5 hours, so it has been a long day even up to this point. We shall see how it goes once we get to Honolulu. Depending on how tired I am, I may not post later tonight, but I will try to do so tomorrow morning and post the first few pics as well.

Hope your days are going well...
