Priorities.

We always love spending the night at Papalaua, anyway. What sleeping on our mattress in the back of car lacks in comfort, it more than makes up for in atmosphere. Besides, we couldn't pick up our next truck from U-Haul until they opened at 9. So we would be able to sleep in, to some extent.

That even gave Ella a chance to go for a swim.

There had been no 20-foot trucks available at U-Haul; we had to take a 15-footer. I didn't really mind, thinking the shorter truck might be easier to take along Hana Highway. However, it turned out that some of the parts were longer than the truck. Keith had to stop at Lowe's for a few red flags to tape to the extended parts of the cargo.

The trip to Serenity Slope was surprisingly not awful, considering I was going in the very early afternoon. But that might have worked in my favor, as most tourists were already in Hana, and it was too early for most of them to be heading back.

I didn't help unload, as I was exhaausted. Besides, the driver doesn't normally load or unload. Besides, Zach was building a garage or storage unit to put the compoents in, to keep them dry until they were needed for the construction. So he actually decided to let those pieces remain in the truck for a day while he completed his structure.

Meanwhile, I slept.
