Being left behind in Hawaii wasn't so bad for Sutro, who extended his vacation with a trip to the spa and quality time in a cabana.
Sutro is a teddy bear, and he didn't make it into the luggage as Anna Pickard and her family packed their bags to go home to the Bay Area. As she emptied out the luggage, Pickard realized that her son's beloved bear wasn't anywhere to be found. She quickly called the Grand Hyatt Kauai and asked if anyone had seen Sutro, and she got the good news: He had been found in the laundry.
Before reuniting Sutro with his family, the staff at the Grand Hyatt Kauai decided to have a little fun. They took him all over the hotel property, letting him go down a water slide and get his nails done in the salon, and documented his adventures. Pickard tweeted that her son was "delighted" and "enthralled" by the photos, and even asked how Sutro was able to afford a cabana. All vacations must come to an end, though, and Sutro made it home safely last week.
