{Bankruptcy WHAT?!}

Today is the day Nate and I are supposed to be driving to St. George so we can catch our Plane flight out of Las Vegas to HAWAII. Well, funny story yet alittle ok maybe not ALITTLE but, MAJOR UPSETTING, Sunday night Nate was watching the news and he heard something about an airport in Hawaii claiming bankruptcy so he called my brother in law Ryan at 10:30 and asked if he knew what airlines we were on? Ryan said, " hey i think we are fine I don't think that is our flight". So I get s phone call Tuesday from my dad, telling me about Nate's call to Ryan the the other night and I told my dad I did not believe him cause Nate never told me that Info. so my dad says, " ask Nate if I am lieing and call me back." So I call Nate ask him, and sure enough he did call Ryan and told him about the bankruptcy situation. I then call my dad back and apologize for not believing him, he goes on to tell me that we can't go anymore, so I sat there totally bummed freaking out, then he continued to tell me that Justi told him she hated him and that he sucked, so I added well i guess that brings me up on the ladder from her and my amusing father goes, "yea, she said that after i told her April FOOLS"! My father is SO funny! Well, later that night him and my mom show up at my house and my dad walks in and says, " So my April Fools backfired on me". It was true about the airport Aloha did claim bankruptcy so, mom and dad had been on the phone ALL night trying to figure out another way around that flight, so they get it all worked out, paying an extra $1400 to move our flight to a different airport. So all is good RIGHT? No, last night I was in at the salon and Nate calls me, He tells me that the flight that my parents just got arranged 2 nights ago had just claimed bankruptcy also. So after my parents fought with the airlines for 4-5 hours we will be lucky to see a penny of our money returned and Kauai will be missing the Crowther family! Let's just say it wasn't a FUN night last night I think me and my sisters are all teared OUT! I'm just bummed cause I spent ALL day yesterday preparing and tweeking the last minute things so that I was ready for the big day TODAY! We have been planning this trip for a year now, I guess there is a reason all of this is happening but, like my mom said, "maybe we're not supposed to go for a reason but, I sure hope the island blows up or something so we knew the REASON". Our bags are packed my kids are siked to go to aunt Jamie's house, as of 10:45 last night my parents were trying to find a cruise out of Cali. to go on, so hopefully I'll have a positive note in a few days!
