on my maldives trip, it was the first time using this beautiful suitcase i got as a birthday gift. a suitcase i haven’t seen before, a suitcase made out of leather so strong that they have advertisements with an elephant standing on it. on the way to the other side of the world, fine. on the way back to hawaii, somebody tried to open the lock and broke it. so i told the united airlines staff at honolulu airport what happened. i told them that i just got this suitcase and was super bummed out. they got my number, called me a week later, and said “sorry mr. fukunaga, there are no parts in america for your suitcase. we have to send it back to europe to have it fixed and it will take 3-4 months. what??? you can either wait, or we will buy you another suitcase.” 3-4 months i cannot wait. so they told me to pick out anything. anything?
i went down to Rimowa in waikiki, picked out the best one which was about $2,000. that one looked cool but was too heavy. so i picked out the 2nd most expensive one, called united, and they had it shipped to my door 5 days later. i have to say that the service at united air is great. i don’t know if it was because i flew business class? but if it is, i’m very happy to be a business traveler. haha.
**anyway, gotta get back to figure out what i’m going to say in front of the 8th grade class at Mid Pac tomorrow. i’m not good at speaking in front of people so i’m a little nervous. i think i’m going to start off saying “What’s up brah! Howzit going cuz!” haha.
