Days 13-14(?): A Hui Ho Hawaii/how did one day become two?

Sunday, April 1 (Ending with Monday April 2!): The day I left the US. :) I stayed up quite late packing the previous night (with my cousin Josh hanging out with me, playing random youtube videos and listening to random music x) ), but got up early enough to get most everything done that I needed to, and with time to spare! (what a change from when I was packing till the last minute in Seattle… xD)

And for my last meal here, my wonderful Grandma made me an amazing chirashi lunch:

Then, we even had time to take her to Costco again. Hehe, I loved all my shopping trips with her this trip. :)

Then, my Aunty Joanie came home from her church, in time to say good bye. And, do a quick photo shoot outside?! Hehe, of course. xD

Isn’t this just a gorgeous couple? They are so very much in love with each other, and /I/ love them so much. I am as much at home with them as when I am in Washington, and I am just so happy to have such an amazing relationship with my grandparents, even while much is across an ocean. I know that’s indeed a gift, and I treasure it so very much. ♥

(not sure what was up with this exposure. :( )

My cuz so totally loves me. =P  (jk, he’s just too cool to show it in a picture x))

I love my Hawaii. I really will miss it. But, I’m super excited for everything else that I’ll be seeing during the next 5 months. ^o^

After saying goodbye to everyone and getting dropped off at the airport (*sniff/cry*), I chilled at the United Club lounge. Yes, I’m special. x) The reason was my friend’s brother helped book my flights, and he was able to get my BUSINESS CLASS on my way to Japan. However, I had NO idea what that entailed, till I took off….

It’s funny how despite being from here and having family to stay with, there are at least 3 of these hotels that are kinda like home to me too….. ^^♥ perks of being part of my family. ;)

And here, is what I ate on the plane ride to Guam (my layover point):

Lobster salad

Filet mignon with guava glaze and sweet potatoes~

And a custom ice cream sundae!

And in addition - all the chips and fruit you could want, an ice cream sandwich, a warm chocolate-chip cookie, a fruit bowl with chocolates and a warm turkey and cheese sandwich. They just would not stop offering food. :P

So, Seat 1A in Business First on an International flight... All I can say is: WOW! xD

Landed, then spent the night in Guam, which was just a tiiiiny little island!! Didn’t do anything but get to the hotel and shower and sleep, then got up at 4am Guam time to get to the airport – so no pictures, and I don’t even feel I truly can say I was there. :P

This is the touristy portion – basically a suuuper mini version of Waikiki, apparently. ^^

And… that was my one day, which (because of crossing the International Date Line) somehow became two. Well, I’ll gain that lost time back when I return, I guess. xD
