We headed to the airport to catch our flight from O'Hare to LA. We made it to the airport with time enough time to grab some lunch and we had a quick sandwich before heading over to our gate. On the way to the gate we spotted Michael from Extreme Home Makeover. It ended up that he was on his way to LA as well so we introduced ourselves and chatted him up about Maui, the show etc. Michael told us that Maui is one of his favorite spots and gave us some tips. In fact he wrote a few places down in Gina's journal. Before we boarded we asked if we could take a quick picture. Michael was a nice guy and very approachable, we enjoyed out talk with him. Shortly after we boarded our plane and head to LA. The flight was painless except that United Airlines has to have the least legroom of any airline...and we don't need much! We didn't have much time to hang out in LA. We boarded the plane for Maui which seemed like a much longer flight (5 hours) Shelly and I upgrade to economy plus so the seats were slightly better. She and I tried to sleep while the kids stayed awake the whole time. John made friends with a couple of teenagers from Canada on the way and they told him about how they got busted shoplifting a PSP GO (portable game player) We landed Maui, got our bags, boarded a shuttle, and checked in. We decided to order some room service since it was 10pm and we were all a little hungry. We had a couple fruit plates, coconut shrimp and chips and salsa. By the time we were finished we were more than ready for bed. It was a big trip for all of us but we managed and how we are here for the next 9 days.
