Our day started at 4:00am when we woke up to catch our morning flight leaving from Boise at 6:30 to Salt Lake City. Everything was on time, however we sat in the plane until an hour after we were supposed to take off. We ended leaving at 7:30... which made us miss our connecting flight to Las Vegas by about 5 minutes.
They re-booked us on new Las Vegas flight, however it would put us in too late to make our connection to Honolulu. So we were told to call Delta Airlines on the Help Line. (See Jeff Below)
They told us that there was nothing until Thursday. Two days in Salt Lake instead of Hawaii!! NO WAY! So we found a blessing in a Delta uniform that worked on our itinerary for TWO HOURS! She got us a flight to Maui...wrong island but way closer than Salt Lake, and a much better place to be stuck.
We made it to Maui with a minor diaper blow out on the plane, however our luggage did not.
So Sam had to go without pants because we did not have any clothes to change him into.
After we reported our luggage missing we were able to catch an earlier island hopper than planned on a VERY nice small plane. Sam loved it until descent and the view was beautiful!
So after a crazy, tiring, blessing filled day we are in Hawaii. No luggage yet, but who cares! Every time I'm on my way here I think that there is no way Hawaii is going to be worth this hassle, but when you step off the plane into the warm, moist, fragrant air its way more than worth the hassle.
