Fanime 2013 Day 1 (May 24th)
We all met up at Khoa/Danbo's house before leaving. We were going to leave at 4:30, but costuming problems delayed it until 6! Most of the day was spent waiting in to get our badges. The staff members weren't the most helpful when we got lost, but one of the members was really nice and practically walked us to the pre-reg line. It took us ~3 hours to get our badges.
Danbo made good use of the time and slept.
Amazingly awesome Iron Man cosplayer!
By the time we got out of line, it was 9 PM and the dealer's hall and artist alley were closed, so all that was left were the cosplayers, Stage Zero, the swap meet/second-hand sale and the game room. Everything at the swap meet was really overpriced! For example, the cheapest Inori Nendoroid at the swap meet was $80, but I got the exact same Nendo at the dealer's hall for $40.
PSY!
Ultimate Madoka and Homura. They were so cute!!

Honolulu 2013 (part 2)
Hotel!
I stayed at the Kahala this time and it's GORGEOUS! It was also as expensive as hell but well worth it.
View from one of the balconies. That's right, one of the balconies. We got a one-room ocean front suite and it still has 2 balconies.
View from the other balcony. We got a really good view of the dolphin lagoon from our room as we were right above it. The dolphins are so cute~ (*´∀`*)
View from the living room window. (As if the view from 2 balconies wasn't enough.)
Living room/sitting area/whatever. I slept on the couch behind the lamp since it has a fold-out bed too.
Not even half of the master bathroom. Doesn't show: 2 closets, giant-ass shower, storage cabinet with fridge, and huge towel cabinet.
Weird toilet.
Upon examination, it's actually a washlet! ( ꒪Д꒪)ノ
There's a coffee machine and the coffee is free! It was a major plus for me because I love coffee. (*/ω\*)
There was a beautiful tapestry hanging near the doorway of pretty coral shells~

Honolulu 2013 (part 1)
Planes in SFO. There was an interesting art display that I (unfortunately) didn't get any pictures of.
Picture of the plane from the terminal. This flight was a mess. My mom had booked the flight with Expedia and chosen the seats during the booking, but Expedia ended up scattering our seats all over the plane. My family would prefer to stay together during travel, so we tried to contact Expedia but they wouldn't change the seating back. We ended up having to contact United directly to get our seats back. DO NOT USE EXPEDIA.
Hideseal in the plane in his handkerchief basket. He's sitting on the tray/table/thing in front of my seat.
^Picture of other planes from HNL
Sat on the plane for 5 hours and 45 mins. The weather in Hawaii was beautiful when we got there. It was super sunny, but it wasn't too hot. (●´∀`●)
Hideseal on the shuttle to pick up our rental car. Buses have the grossest lighting ever.
