Moving Day-July 8th


Pretend it's July 8th...(these are back blogs remember?) :) So it's 2AM and I just started packing because I spent the day before watching Michael Jackson's memorial...then I was too lethargic to pack... PLUS, I HATE PACKING. I had my list already made of what I wanted to take so that helped, I guess (not really). I had to leave @ 5 for the airport & it took all 3 hrs to pack because I'm slow and then my sister took me to airport to catch my 7AM flight from Philly to LA. It was a long flight but I finally made it there safely. *Disclaimer* AVOID SWITCHING AIRLINES MID TRIP UNLESS YOU HAVE AT LEAST...AT LEAST 3 HRS TO SPARE!!!
I had a two hour layover at LAX - an hour and 45 minutes of the 2 hours was spent rechecking/repacking my luggage - leaving me with about 15 minutes to get through security & get to my gates. Thankfully, a strong, tall-ish, dark, & handsome TSA guy saw me struggling with my bags and carried them down the escalator through the MOB of people for me to the check-in counter. I was sooo hot & tired. Anyway, I'm glad that I was in Zone 3 boarding! I crashed when I got on the plane....5 hr flight to Kona.

There were sooooo many kids on the flight AND they stayed awake...argh! Long flight short, we arrived in Kona and it was cloudy & muggy outside, and the baggage claim belt for my flight was broken. We had to wait for a truck to arrive with our baggage and then finally head to the car rental place & drive to Waimea, were the festival was. (We, meaning my car mates, Alysia & Chris).

Finally done flying....off to the festival.
