Aloha

We are here and made it safe and sound! It was quite an ordeal getting here... but we made and and are relaxing (finally)!

Let me give you a little run-down of how everything went for us getting to Hawaii. On Tuesday Brint and I left with my car, dad's big red truck, and a HUGE trailer for a Cali to go and drop off all of our stuff at the docks so it can get shipped to Honolulu. Well everything was going great until 9:30am Wednesday morning, we get to the warehouse that we needed to drop all of our goods off at and found out that we packed 3 times as much stuff as we could take! So if you know me, I stared panicking and almost started crying because they were going to charge us an additional $5,000 to take everything we brought. YEAH! So I started going through stuff and figuring out what we could "really" live without and what we needed. The guy comes back out and says that he would take everything for $3,500. So after much thought and talking to Brint's parents we decided to seal the deal. (That is the start of the bad day...)

So then we had another hour drive to the dock where we were dropping the car off at, and we get there and they didn't have us on the records. The people we booked through forgot that tiny little step in our paperwork and so we had to wait 2 1/2 hours until everything went through. So instead of getting home at 2PM we got home at 9PM. We were DEAD! Brint was late for his Guy's night that his friends were planning for him so that really sucked.

We had all day Thursday to say our goodbye's and get finished packing and then we were off Friday morning at 10:55AM. We are still so dead tired from this past week... but we're in paradise so I guess I should just stop complaining now. :)

Anyway, If you have not left a comment stating that you would like to continue checking out our blog, please do. We are going Private on Monday 8/17/09.
