Hawaii Adventures: Day 5 (the end)
If you haven’t gotten it from the title, this is the last entry of my Hawaii Adventures Blog/Diary thing. Yes, sadly I only had a good five days in Hawaii before having to come back home. But still a very fulfilling trip! Unfortunately...my last day in Hawaii was....not so wonderful. Let’s begin from the moment I was rudely awoken by my phone.
The text tone went off and for me in Hawaii, it was 6:30 in the morning and I had a late night just hours before. I was going to ignore it...until I saw who texted to me. Through very blurry vision (cause I am blind as a bat), I decided to wake up and see what was so important (maybe something happened at home?) Well....turned out it was someone who cares deeply about me was trying to be helpful. Which....in my delicate state of mind....turned out to have the complete and opposite effect. I flipped. At the time, because 1) i’m not a morning person, 2) I was just overreacting because apparently in a couple hours you can become wiser beyond your years, I just went off on that person. I was so ready to take on the world and this completely tore me down (at the time). Long story short, I felt miserable. But, let me tell you about the icing on the cake.
A couple hours later, I packed my things, said goodbye to the room, and went out to do a little last minute souvenir shopping. I left my stuff in my car and was just killing time until it was time to meet with one last friend and have some breakfast. When I was about to pay, I VERY SOON realized that I did not...have my card. I freaked out. I was having a panic attack. Could my day get any worse? Yes....yes it could. So I called the bank, blocked my card, and discovered someone had used it....at a DFS. Of course. What was so upsetting was that I didn’t even realize, because for this trip, I decided to use cash for the most part. WHAT WAS I THINKING? I NEVER USE CASH! So where did I leave my stupid card? At the ATM.....you can only imagine how incredibly stupid and dumb I felt...who am I kidding, I still feel that way. So as I sat in front of my friend, the tears started to fall. Great, now I was showing weakness.....This day seriously could not get any worse. OH BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!
I remembered....I had to pay for my check in bag....and to top it off....my rental car. Oh man....I was ready to just crawl in a ditch and cry myself to death. I did not want to have to ask my friend to pay for that. He was kind enough to be there and offer his help, but I was just internally dying a painfully slow death of horror. I called the rental place and they changed it so that he would be able to pay for me. We quickly ate and rushed over. I pulled up and was ready to have to ask my friend pay for it when they said I was all done and handed me my receipt. I didn’t understand. So I asked them and explained the whole situation. They said since it was a pending transaction, it went through anyways. MY LUCK WAS TURNING AROUND! Or...so I thought. I still had to borrow money to pay for my luggage. Sigh....but once I finally got past security, I was pretty much good for the rest of the day. Although I don’t really remember all the in betweens due to my panic stricken psyche. BUT, my luck really did change as the day went on.
I called to apologize to the person for freaking out in the morning. I got to sit next to a wonderful lady who made the plane ride very pleasant. She was basically the last person I got to vent to. Hahah! How people put up with me, I will never know. I got started and sucked into reading Felicia Day’s memoir. If you don’t know who she is, google. NOW. And once we landed and got to baggage claim. I got the best surprise and all the stress from the morning vanished. My boyfriend was there, ready to pick me up, with flowers. FLOWERS! *swoon* I never thought I was into those girlish fantasies, but boy did those plants make me smile and extremely happy. Any presence of tears, GONE! My bad day, became a pretty awesome one in the end. I mean I still have to deal with all the stuff that happened previously, but now I am more level headed and I have six days :p haha! So ends my wonderfully hectic last day in Hawaii, which should have been super relaxing and filled with only good thoughts. But hey, that’s life.
Thanks to all those who actually stuck through with me. I hope it was the least bit interesting. Until next time!
