Lindsay Lohan, who was scheduled to return from her hit-and-miss  Hawaiian vacation today, missed her flight back to Los Angeles that  would have had her back in town in time for a scheduled taping of The  Ellen DeGeneres Show.
But more importantly, Lohan's due in  court bright and early tomorrow. She doesn't need a passport to get  back to the mainland, so what can the problem be—and will it keep her  from her date with Judge Stephanie Sautner?!
"Lindsay had a  travel-related issue arise that took a few hours to sort out," rep Steve  Honig tells E! News. "It has been resolved and she will be back in Los  Angeles in time for her court appearance."
Phew!
A source also tells us that Lohan is already in the air and will be touching down at LAX in a few hours.
The  community-servicing actress is due in court Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. for  another checkup as to how she's been handling the terms of her  probation.
Sautner ordered her to complete at least 12 days of  work at the L.A. County morgue by her hearing date—and Lohan's done  that, so we're not expecting too much tap-dancing on the part of  Playboy's latest cover girl.
