Home

Every trip has a beginning, a middle, and an end. Our trip ended Sunday with two uneventful but painful flights back to Austin.

We said "Aloha" to our room at the Westin.


Our shuttle was scheduled to pick us up at 9:45 am and we sat outside the front of the hotel to wait.


Ricky called SpeediShuttle at 9:45 when they weren't there to pick us up.


Much to our surprise the shuttle parked in front of the hotel was waiting for us! We didn't realize it was SpeediShuttle.


We drove past the ocean on our left


The mountains were on our right


We drove past fields that were once planted in sugarcane.  The landscape was very dry.


We flew out of Kahului Airport


Lunch at StingerRays


This unfortunate bird was living inside the airport.


We left Maui at 12:45 pm and landed at LAX at 9:00 pm. It was a 5 hour flight, but we crossed several time zones.  We arrived at our hotel after 10 pm. The only food choices were chips and candy.  😞 We got up at 2:15 am to be back at the airport for our 5:30 am flight. It was a short and hungry night. 


We had a happy homecoming. The dogs couldn't believe it was really us at first, then they became exuberant.



Just like old times. Ricky and HoneyBee took a nap in the chair. 


The tomato vines were loaded.


We put on a pot of beans first thing and ate them for supper. It's good to be back home!
