Aloha honolulu, Aloha Chicago


Well I’m back in Chicago and I must say that I’m really happy about it. The last few days in Honolulu were a disaster. The entire time that we were there we never ate at Roy’s which is the premiere restaurant in Hawaii. That is what Cassie and I love to do when we’re anywhere, eat at good restaurants. We scheduled it so that we would go there our last night there. Well the movers were supposed to be there at noon which should give us plenty of time. They showed up six hours late, yes six hours!!

We moved the reservations back. When the movers finally arrived they took one look and said it could be done in one hour. We didn’t have that much stuff so we thought we could still make it. After talking my way out of a fine for moving out after 5:00 we thought that we were on our way; except for the concept of Hawaii time.

One hour in Hawaii time is really four hours normal time. So the movers were done at 10:00, Cassie and I missed our dinner, and we had not eaten the entire day. That still was not the worst part. The movers completely ignored what can and can not be packed and therefore out NetFlix movies were packed, empty boxes, cigars, garbage, and maybe some of our landlord’s things (we were in a furnished apartment). Still not the worst part.

It seems that the moving company made a bad estimate and well, we got charged twice as much. Then the movers left without leaving us any paperwork. We got fucked, but what were we supposed to do? Our plane was leaving the next morning and they had already packed our things.

The result, we’re ruling out any chance of us moving to Honolulu again. That is along with several other horrible things that Honolulu represents. Viva Chicago!!
