Aloha 'Oe Hawaii!!

Filipo & I finished our finals and packed our bags and we were off. The flight was so packed and they moved our seats about four times which kind of made me mad because I picked the ones I did so that we would be in the two seat by the window but they said their excuse for moving us was "There's so many infants on our flight we're having trouble placing them." Okay so someone else's bad planning means that I have to be uncomfortable?? Thank goodness Finau was really good though and his first flight was great. Everyone was asking us if he was always so good and they said it must be a Hawaii baby thing.

[stuck in ATL]

So we got to Atlanta after a VERY long flight. There were AT LEAST FOUR flights to DCA before ours through Delta. So since I didn't want to wait for five hours I went up and asked if we could get on the next flight flying out. The guy looks us up and says "The FAA does not let anyone voluntarily leave their baggage" So we couldn't. I really wanted to say "Can I get your badge number and name because this has happened to me three other times. I have a six month old baby and I don't want to wait for five hours. If my luggage is already in DC when we get there I'm filing a complaint and report against you and I hope you get FIRED!" (Of Course it was there when we arrived)


So I asked the next two gate employees on the next two flights and they said similar things. At that point I was too tired and didn't care. We finally got on our original flight and made it to VA. Mum & Dad bought Finau this awesome car seat and we went home after a long day(s). They had so many toys and things for Finau and it was so good to sleep in a nice bed and shower in a shower that is clean and not all yucky and swarming with ants and cockroaches. I love being home!! It was also nice because mum and dad kept Finau in their room and he slept right through the night, he loves the cold!



*Isn't Finau's chair that mum got awesome. He lived in that thing all afternoon & it's his new favorite thing!
