Travel home

On Saturday morning Lynn and Jake had to be up to catch their ride to the parasailing place. Lisa and I worked on getting the condo cleaned up a bit and getting the car loaded. We picked up Lynn and Jake at 10 am--Jake was beaming. He had an awesome time and really enjoyed it. We then dropped off the rental car and caught the shuttle to the airport.

The good news was that we got there in plenty of time, the bad news--we had a marching band on our flight to Seattle! We all loaded onto the plane and I really thought the flight attendant was kidding when she said that the band was going to play for us. Well after the movie (Marley and Me, I chose not to watch since I read the book and knew I would cry), the flight attendant called up members of the band. They had three clarinets and one oboe available (all the rest of the instruments were checked) to play for us. They played and sang their school song and did two other numbers before stopping. It was something you don't see on a flight every day!!!!

We landed in Seattle at 9:44 pm Seattle time and had two hours before our next flight. We went to the main terminal (we were in the Satellite) to get some dinner. After dinner we went back to wait for our flight. We actually left on time (on the same plane as our flight from Hawaii) and this time I sat next to a very nice lady who had to talk. She had just left her husband at Fort Lewis where he was preparing for his second trip to Iraq. So she talked to me for the flight and showed me all the pictures she had taken while in Seattle for a week. She was very nice, but I think I would have enjoyed some sleep :)

We landed at 5:42 AM Minnesota time. We got our luggage and Ricardo came and picked us up. We were back to my place by 7:30ish. Lynn, Lisa and Jake packed up the car and headed back home. I did some unpacking and organizing before napping. Spent the rest of the day doing laundry, paying bills, and uploading some photos.

So there is the story of our trip to Hawaii. Hope you all enjoyed it :)
