Day-13 – On our way home

A sad day since we begin our trek back home to the mainland.  Our tour is completed and we are waiting for the shuttle to bring us to the airport.  While waiting for the shuttle I decided to go around the hotel to take a couple of pictures.  Here is a dugout canoe with an outrigger.

As the shuttle shows up I take a picture of the fountain in front of the hotel.  How come if tourists take a piece of volcanic rock Pele will make sure they have bad luck, but the hotels can take any they want?

And we get our last look at the waters off of the coast of Maui.

Each time we passed the sugar cane museum I have seen this train and never got a picture.  This time I’m on the right side of the vehicle and I’m also ready to take the picture.  Here is an old train used during the heyday of the sugar cane to bring the cane to the factory.

We get our last look at the landscape of Maui and the Hawaiian Islands.  At the airport, the camera goes into the bag for the security pass through and flight back home.

Our flight into Las Angeles gives us 20 minutes to get to our next gate, we are in the middle of the jet so we speak to one of the Attendants about where our connecting flight is.  We find out it is the gate right next to our exiting gate.  We deplane and move over to our next gate next door and walk right on the plane.  How great is that.  We get to Florida at 5:30 am, but in Hawaii it is only 11:30 pm, this is going to be hard to get back into a regular groove.
