Stress...

Things are a bit of stressful right now in my life. My trip to Hawaii just got more stressful. I won’t lie; I’ve been worried about not only MOVING there and leaving my family who I love dearly, but also going to another state which almost seems like another country. I have to find a job which makes me nervous because I don’t have the advantage that I do here because I am bilingual. Me knowing Spanish is pretty much pointless because there is like an 8% Hispanic population so yeah unless I know Japanese, I’m not considered the kind of bilingual they want to employ. The economy here lately is just not so good and everything gets more expensive week after week. Well, Hawaii is already much more expensive than Texas so I’m very nervous to see what kind of life I will live there. I’ve already become accustomed to having my own apartment and having a steady income, so this experience that I am seeking is definitely taking me out of my comfort zone. I hope it is all worth it, even if we don’t make it a whole year over there it would be nice to know that I tried and we enjoyed living in paradise for a while. However this is not why I am stressed out about, I knew all of that going into this. At the beginning of this month I get an e-mail telling me that my flight to Honolulu is canceled because my airlines ATA went bankrupt (LOVELY!!). They said someone would notify me but that other airlines were helping out by giving $99 segment charges. Now I wish I would have just forked out another $99 because I received another e-mail yesterday telling me that they are now going to refund me my money and that I will have to purchase another ticket. Doesn’t sound bad right? I could just buy another ticket right? WRONG… because my airline ATA and another Hawaiian airline are no longer flying the prices have like tripled plus since I planned it so far in advance I got a great deal… now I have to pay an outrageous amount of money. But it’s sort of a big mess, I don’t know all the details of what to do but thankfully I have a wonderful boyfriend who is taking care of making all these calls. However, he has the same situation I do except he’s leaving in 3 weeks so I know he’s REALLY stressing out along with some other things. So yeah… we definitely are hitting some bumps on this adventure we want to go on.
