Aloha

It’s my last day before taking off for Hawaii tomorrow. We’ll be taking him to Oahu to see my sister and hopefully get some R&R before Sophia goes back to work in a couple weeks.

It’ll be our first flight with Colin. I’m not really nervous anymore given that Colin has handled nearly everything like a champ. I’m sure there will be some minor issues, but he’s just been great in everything that we do with him.

However, I am getting anxiety with just how much shit we have to bring nowadays. I’m usually a very light packer and like to be nimble in my travels. I’ve now got a checklist for all the things that we need to bring like his pack and play, stroller, car seat, etc.

Of course, the last day before a vacation always seems to be hectic. After a chill Monday and Tuesday, I am now drowning in work and meetings. It wouldn’t be a vacation without me being absolutely swamped the day before I leave though.

It’ll all be worth it tomorrow once I have a bowl of poke in my hands. I’m excited that we get to spend time with my sister who I will unfortunately see a lot less now that we’re moving to New York. Having her in Oahu was always a nice perk and a great excuse to take the short flight from SF.

I’m also excited for my first of hopefully many trips with Colin. I hope we have a lot of travels in our lifetime. It’s one of my loves in life and I hope that Colin gets the opportunity to see the world as much as I’ve been fortunate to.
