Leaving the big island.

We had a 9-something am flight, which meant leaving Hedonesia at 7am at the latest. Now, we've been living on aloha time for quite a while now... ( I think we even practiced before we left) So we got up and got the car packed up, and Heidi and Briana had made coffee so we could have a cup together before we took off. We are so grateful for our time on the big island and at Hedonesia, we've learned quite a bit, and have made some amazing friends. We'll miss a lot of the amazing people there, the fascinating places, and the mind blowing views.

On the flight out we found ourselves on the same plane as another girl, Christine, who we had met a few days prior. We sat together and chatted though the short, noisy flight to Oahu. This flight was on Aloha airlines-- who had just declared bankruptcy-- a few days later they announced that they would not be honoring any more tickets and that they would be closed for good.

The next flight to Kaua'i was quiet, quick, and on time. We waited a little while for the shuttle from the Kaua'i Hilton to come get us-- and were quickly at the Kaua'i Hilton-- mmm luxurious. Within a day of getting here I had a nasty cold, the next day Dj had it too. Since then we've been staying in the sun trying to bake the cold out of ourselves and get a little healthier. Aside from an unfortunately slowly subsiding cough we are mostly feeling better and are planning to do a lot of exploring tomorrow.
