AZ Trip...

March 11-15
Delta wings on...  Landed in PHX on 1 hour of sleep [the tsunami warning for Hawaii kept me up all night] & it was go go go from there..  My cousinita Maryann & her Pops picked me up & we drove all around AZ looking for some part for Uncle.  I was super tired so I was in & out of sleep the whole time.  Finally got to Auntie Marg's house & saw the chaos the Aloha Festival was having on there lives lol.  Costumes everywhere, people everywhere, sewing machines everywhere... Headache haha It was nice to see everyone real quick then to Aunty Luti & Uncle Gils.  Gilber & DeAnne came by with TJ & Kaili.  Those boys are too dang cute.

Ended the day at Maryanns house in the boonies lol.. Alai & Carissa came with so it was a slumber party minus any photos kz I was beat...

 Even got to watch a rugby game..  UTAH vs. ASU..  I'm not usually a fan of the U's rugby team [yes I cheer for BYU rugby boys] but since we were in AZ you know I had to cheer for UTAH... Plus we went to watch Meti too so I guess I'm partial to the U. lol They won too wooo whoooo.

Ended the night with Tommy Lees birthday party.

Next day

was Keakalinas farewell.  Which we of course missed cause we had no idea how to get there... lol but we went to visit Aunty Luti in the hospital.  She had not been feeling well so I think it was just a precautionary visit.

SFO trip...

February 19-March 1 SFO TRIP...

I love having family just about everywhere because it gives you a reason to visit them & their residing state...  So off to Cali I went.  Bag packed for 4 days... ended up extending my trip and extra 6 days hahaha I know who the heck does that???  I DO!! lol it was so nice to just be there with no agenda.  Usually when I visit Cali there's always something going on [usually a wedding or a funeral] so this time was the 1st time I was going for no reason but to go.  There was a lot that went on since I was there for over a week so I'm going to give the short & sweet version with a few photos from each day...

DAY 1 & 2: Got to Trish & Siones.  The girls were asleep but Baby Georgie was still up so he's my first photo of the trip.  The next day the best tour guide in the world picked me up for church then we made off to tour the CITY for my 1st time ever..  I la-la-la-looooooved it from the Golden Gate Bridge {which lightweight freaked me out kz I just watched this totally sad but....yeah} to Fishermans Wharf.  I think I'll take a jog across the bridge next time I'm in town lol seriously though.

 Sidenote: I fell in love with this Thrifty Brand Ice Cream that the Kahos had stocked at all times.  It was the Chocolate Malted Crunch & Coconut Pineapple flavors.  I swear I ate that everyday I was there & had no physical activity. hahaha horrible I know but I enjoyed it very much.

That pretty much sums up my SFO trip.  I always forget how much family I have out there in the Bay so it was nice to be able to see the majority of them.  And the biggest hugest thanks to Sione & Trish for letting me take up space in their lovely home!!!  Time for me to catch some ZzZZZzzZz's now.  AZ post & BYU luau posts will be next. yeeeeeeeeeee
