Welcome home?


Well, we made it! This is at the airport. Scott bought us leis, aren't they pretty? I was happy to finally be here. All the stress of moving was done. All I really wanted now was a shower. I was so tired that morning that I didn't rinse the conditioner out of my hair so I felt like a greasy mess all day. YUCK! But we had a lot to do before we could relax and take a shower. We weren't sure about whether we could go pick up our own vehicle at the port yet, so we rented a car for the day. It was a good thing too, our car came the next day. Then we had to get air-mattresses to sleep on. And we had to get the keys to our place.


Our place wasn't very impressive. Our neighborhood doesn't care about their yards, they let them die, don't plant anything, especially this house, they have quite a big backyard, but don't do anything with it. It's sad really. Anyway, I know Scott was very disappointed. So we piled in the car to get out and to grab some lunch. We searched forever for just the right place, we drove over to the other side of the island around Kihei, then on toward Lahaina, then circled back to Wailuku and ended up back in Kahului at the mall at Ruby's diner. We took so long that both Scott and Camille had gone beyond hungry to splitting headache and were both so frustrated and famished they couldn't eat. Then at the dinner table is where Camille's emotions exploded. It all hit her like a tone of bricks that we had moved away from her happy place. That broke our hearts and so we were all a mess. Needless to say, our first day was not a good one. We decided to go and sleep it off.
