I woke up at 4am Hawaii time, which is still sleeping in Seattle time. I cruised the internet and watched TV and ate my left over teri burger and cold ass fries. Also downed about 20 gallons of water. Did I mention that I'm living at the Marriot Resort and Spa on Waikiki! Only for about a week til they find me an apartment...I'll take it :)
By 9:30am I was out surfing!!! Wes' friend Ryan lives here and is now a surf instructor...yay for me. I'm not gonna lie, I was scared shitless. Once I got up on my first wave and biffed it really hard, it was all good. I love it and want to do it all time! I did jam my toe on some coral trying to get back on the board...I guess that's not too shabby for living in paradiso :) I am now cruising craigslist for a board!

Sayonara Seattle
Yesterday was rough! Giving my cats a last hug for awhile and they knew something was up...they were squeaking at me :( Saying goodbye to my honey...I think the longest we've ever been apart is about a week, when we've gone on vacations to visit friends or family. Watching him waving furiously as I walked through security was heartbreaking. The security guy asked if I was okay and then I lost it completely. I just stood there in a daze as they (security) ran my bags through about 3 times...yes, I had stuffed my whole life in 3 bags :) I timed it perfectly, by the time I got to my departing gate, they were already boarding. Me and my 3 bags stuffed ourselves on to the plane, granted I snuck an extra one on...haha.
I love flying Alaska and the little treats they offer. Granted, I usually fly first class and this time I was in coach. So I had reserved a digeplayer for my 6 hour flight and loaded my bag with snacks. I declined the beverages cuz I was stuck in a window seat and didn't want to get up to go pee. Once I got my digeplayer, I noticed that there were two headphone jacks so I asked the poor girl that was squished in the middle if she wanted to plug in and watch movies with me. We watched Shutter and Juno. It was my first time watching Juno...LOVED IT. I love that girl! My favorite...you are my macaroni and I am your cheese...that's me and buns :)
It just so happened that my neighbor in the middle was moving out to Honolulu too! Just add water or a digeplayer and we became friends...we even hugged after her ride came and picked her up.
I was getting picked up by new boss and his family. Can I just say, I've NEVER received a warmer welcome! His family picked me up and his 3 year old son put a beautiful lei on me. My boss had a bag full of snacks for me and a ton of books about Hawaiian life and how to learn pidgin books...lol...wha dat? They then took me to lunch and checked me into the hotel on the beach!
I had only gotten about 3 hours of sleep the night before because as usual as I was rolling how I roll...last minute. Stuffing my life into space bags and sucking the life out of them with a vacuum. Lucky for me, and pure luck, my 2 checked bags weighed 47.6 pounds each...no overage fee for me. I digress...once I got into the hotel and the bellboy left...I collapsed for 15 hours. I was beyond exhausted...physically and mostly emotionally.
