It was a nice long visit, but it went by way too fast. I had a lot of fun and was very happy to see everyone, which might not have been apparent from my behavior. I have to apologize for the tantrums I threw and the trouble I caused. I am working on improving and I know that our next visit will be much better.
Today was our last day on Kauai, and this is the day I chose to be super friendly and playful with my cousins. With all the time we had that I spent being grumpy and misbehaving, I chose the last couple of hours to be the good little boy that I know I can be. Well, better late than never.
After a very nice send off from Maile and Lauren, we said our goodbyes and headed to the airport. Everything went very smoothly and we were checked in in no time.
I was in a pretty good mood, but did not want to take a picture alone with Nana and Papa. I was still very attached to Daddy as I have been this whole trip.
But I did thank them properly and give them loving hugs and awesome high fives.
We got through security without any problems and were officially on our way home.
The short flight from Lihue to Honolulu was over in no time. We landed and picked up some sandwiches to supplement the spam musubi that Nana and Papa made for us. We were all fed and ready for the next flight.
The flight to Japan was very long, about 11 hours. But I was very well behaved and we had no problems. I watched some shows on the entertainment system, but mainly stuck to the iPad. Not only did I have videos and games that Daddy had downloaded for me, but we had WiFi on the flight as well. So I could watch a few shows that we hadn’t downloaded in advance. I dozed off here and there, but for the most part I entertained myself. I chatted with Daddy and read some books too. I ate all the meals that were provided. I also was very thankful that I’m completely potty trained because even though I was wearing diapers, I can’t imagine getting my diapers changed in the tiny little lavatories on the airplane. The spam musubis and snack that we packed kept me fueled and satisfied. Before we knew it we were landing in Fukuoka.
It was quite cold so we broke out the down jackets after we got our luggage and then took a taxi home.
Once home I wasted no time playing with my toys that I had been missing for these two weeks.
We ate dinner, took a bath, and then fell asleep quite quickly when it was time for bed. It was a long trip, but I handled it like pro. I went to sleep with a lot of great memories of our trip to Hawaii.
Thank you Nana and Papa for making our visit so pleasant and awesome! Thank you Maile, Lauren, Aunty Chris, and Uncle Matt for your patience with me during my tantrums and mood swings! I really really was happy to see everyone! I can’t wait to see you all again! Sending much love from Japan!
Time to sleep. Oyasumi!
