Flying Home on United Airlines

We returned to Hawaii last week.

Our daughter Tiffany told us that we missed the extremely cold temperatures that swept in the day after we left.

Tif sent this text to us.

Yikes! That's brutal, but that's Chicago! Tif said it hurt to stay outside to shovel snow.

Our United flight to Honolulu from O'Hare Airport was relatively painless.

Tif took us to Subway where we picked up a sandwich for the 9 hour flight home.

My granddaughter, KC had recommended I watch Abominable because she loved it.

We were thrilled to find there was an empty seat next to Art. I had the aisle seat. (Yay!) United was testing complimentary sandwiches (chicken or veggie), dental kits, ear plugs and eye shades.

Seriously? An airline giving free meals again? We were pleasantly surprised. We chose to test out the sandwiches instead of having our subways (which we ate at home for lunch the next day). How were the free sandwiches? Not good at all. The baguette tasted stale. My chicken sandwich had chicken cold cuts and soggy ground up arugula mixed with brie. Art's veggie sandwich was basically a cold cheese sandwich. I still liked the Biscoff cookies though. Ah well, kudos to United for trying.

I was surprised to see that Parasite was offered on the United movie app. Mind you, I usually only watch happy movies. If I want to be sad, I'll read the newspaper. Still... It did win the Academy Award for Best Picture so I thought I'd better give it a try. My son in law said it was excellent. Several friends in Hawaii had told me it was well done. So I watched it.

Arrrrghhhhh....

NOT my kind of movie!

I watched Abominable next as recommended by KC just to get the yukky feeling to dissipate.

I loved Abominable!

I then watched Awkwafina in The Farewell which I also liked.

We landed in Hawaii an hour early which was really wonderful! Mom had dinner waiting. It was nice to be home again.
