maui update - getting there

our flight was 1pmish on friday. we got to the airport with plenty of time, checked in at the sky cap, got through security and went to the gate. then they changed the gate. then it was delayed. then we got on the plane and found out that not only must car seats be by the window (which ruined all my seating arangements plans) but they stuck us in a row on the wing. apparently no car seats on the wing either.
the flight was good. at one point we hit some turbulance and seamus told me all about how it made her tummy hurt.
as we started to descend sirus fell asleep.
our layover had gone from 1 hr down to 15 minutes. we had to get off the plane, catch a shuttle, transfer to a different shuttle, change terminals, and run run run!! grandma was dragging poor little sirus, which was quite funny because his legs are just so short. but we got there and got on the plane and took off. this flight was good, too.
once again as we started to descend, sirus fell asleep.
then we got off the plane and headed to baggage claim where we saw charles the neighbor who was also coming out for the race and we saw bruce from bend, who was there for the race, too. charles took eric's bike, eric went to get the car and the kids, grandma and i gathered all the luggage and waited. the computers were down at car rental, so we had to wait an extra forever.
5 seconds into the car ride and both kids were OUT.
got to the condo and it was about 3042387 degrees. the kids slept through it all, got them in their jammies and put them in their beds.
eric went to the grocery store and spent $45 on milk, eggs, pb&j, bread. milk was $6.00!!! Bread was $5.00. I had to yell a little asking if he went to the 7-11 or something but no, hawaii is expensive.
grandma and sirus bunked together, seamus, eric and i shared. we all went to sleep.
