Day 15 – Today we begin our two-day journey home. It begins with 4:30 am getting up and leaving Aulani by 5am. We returned out rental car and made it to the gate with plenty of time to spare. We had a 5.5 hour flight to Vegas and then a quick change to our 50min flight to LAX. We got our luggage and then made our way for the hotel shuttle waited 40min for the shuttle and then checked in. Desi left his wallet at the counter, and they called us when we got up to the room. We went back for the wallet and then had an extremely overpriced meal at the hotel and went to bed so we could get up 3:30 am for second day of travel home.
Day 16 –
We got up and made our way downstairs, we just missed the shuttle and would have had to wait for 30min for the next shuttle, so we caught an uber to the airport. The short 4 min ride to the airport and then we were checked in for our long day of plane rides. First leg to Pheonix, then an hour and half layover and then to Nashville. When we got to Nashville, we were supposed to say on the plane but southwest decided to do a plane swap so we had to change planes after all. The gate agents were a bit confused, but we got onto our flight back to Boston without any real problems. Finally, back home! We were greeted by some really great signs on our door (Thank you Allards!) and by two pets who were quite excited to see their family. After a great 2 weeks on the road its good to be home, not the long struggle of jet lag! Who knows where the rest of the year will take us and where we will venture on next summer vacation. Stay tuned for more Kaplan Family Vacations!!
