The Day Has Come!

The kids arrive today, we are happy and excited about that.  I am sorry it is sprinkling and very overcast today but we can't control the weather. Our first stop was back to Costco in Honolulu to try to get the rest of the things we need. Oh my, it was SO crowded but we did get all but a few things. After delivering them back to the Condo we headed to HNL. S&S were delayed in their flight so it ended up that they were arriving just 2 minutes before the DLPs and Jeff (1p). Therefore, John went to meet S&S and I waited for the DLPs & Jeff. Of course the locations were totally different parts of the airport.  Despite figuring that all our two groups got on two different shuttles to Dollar Car Rental and met there about the same time. Sam and Steven were added to the car and as I was calling for the King Shuttle Service to pick up the 7 of them, they drove up! This first group of arrivals are on their way to the Condo. Now John and I took the shuttle back to the airport to await the arrival of Sierra, Julie, and Matt. Their flight is on time (3:25p) and we are glad of that. Of course we probably parked in a poor location but there were not many places to choose from. We had to take the Wikiwiki shuttle to the other side of the airport to wait for their arrival and then back again to get to the car. It didn't take long and we were on our way, also the traffic was not near as bad as the other trip. The weather seems to be clearing a bit but there are wind warnings for tonight - up to 50 mph gusts. 

SO - finally we are all reunited at the condo and happy to be here. It is Jeff's birthday so after we are settled in we headed to Moose Mcgillycuddys for something to eat. Some people had just appetizers and some had a meal but we all had a GREAT time! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEFF! 

We did have a cake but everyone was too full to eat it. Maybe tomorrow for Super Bowl. We all exhaustively fell into our beds with winds that felt like hurricane winds outside! One of the doors blew closed so hard it broke off part of the door jam! Thankfully, the nails are still intact so we can put it back in place. We are CA people, we are not used to real "weather" issues too often!
