Day from hell!!!! We got the shuttle bus to the airport and it came to $14 - we had a $20 bill or $11 but the driver didn't have any change on him! Nick went inside asking everyone in the terminal as the shops weren't open yet and outside the bus driver started verbally abusing me!! saying "F*C* You" etc, I said "excuse me" as I couldn't quite believe he was swearing at me for no reason and he went on! I told him that he didn't want Nick to hear him speaking like that to me and he relied with "I'll beat the s*** out of him" nice huh! I was really angry, not our fault he didn't have change was it but I was also a little scared so I went into the terminal to find Nick. We found an American man who couldn't change up our $20 but gave us $3 to add to our $11 - but the driver had followed me in and was saying to this man not to help us! It was either that or he didn't get paid as there was no way in hell we were just going to pay him the $20 now!!
After the driver had stormed off with his $14 and NO tip we chatted to the American, thanking him over and over. Once we got through security Nick changed up the $20 bill and went to find that man. He refused to take back the $3 but Nick insisted. After all that our flight then got delayed over and over! Being pushed back 1 hour, then another, then another and it went on and on! We got to the airport at 9am for our 11am flight and ended up flying at 1630!! And it was such a crapi airport, just the departure lounge with a bar in it! Agh!
But we got here!! We are now in Maui. We got a taxi to our hostel, Banana Bungalow and checked into our double room!! So nice having our own room for the first time in what seems like ages!! It is a nice hostel, just so happy we made it here as there mentions of our flight being cancelled and having to stay in Oahu! We went out for dinner, felt we deserved it after the day we'd had!
