Over the past few days, I've been packing and unpacking then repacking for my upcoming cruise. I have to be careful of what to take with me in my carry on bag, as well as worry about the weight limits for my checked bag. Additionally, I have to be a little creative in what I consider to be my "personal item", as I will want to carry more than the airline would want me to carry into the cabin.

The other day, I got an email regarding my in-flight snack/meal purchases, and I didn't respond quick enough. As a result, I got locked out of buying what I wanted, as my favorite selections were already sold out. So, I'll have to pick up a bite to eat at the airport while waiting for my first flight, then hope that the snacks I bought will be enough for me as I fly from California to Hawaii.
It's been over a decade since I've flown. And though I'm told that I shouldn't worry about things, I can't help but worry. Will I get into trouble due to an issue with my ID? Will I get hassled because I am gender non-conforming? Who knows? As they say, "in for a penny, in for a pound." Most likely, I'm worried about too many little things. But then, I am simply trying to be careful because this trip is expensive, and one I won't be able to do again.
Once I'm out in Hawaii, I have a decision to make. A while back, my former therapist passed away. When I wrote to him, his (ex) wife answered my letter and said I should look her up when I get to Hawaii. I think I will send her an email in the morning, saying that I should be out there in a few days, and mention when I will likely be available for dinner.
One thing I know, the posts I'll be making in regard to this trip should have some very interesting photos. I expect that the recent volcano eruptions will provide for some great pictures....
