Going Home (Awesome Vacation Day 8)

We actually packed up the Monday evening so that we could head out to the Hukilau Cafe for breakfast. I had Hawaiian sweet bread french toast, and Dan had fried rice with eggs and spam.


Then we put all our stuff in the car and drove off, stopping just a bit down the road to see Laie Point. There was an explanation of the legend of the point - something about a monster that was defeated and it fell in five pieces, making up the five islands around the point.


We drove a ways and stopped at this macadamia nut store, where we sampled various flavors. They were all really good - especially the ones covered in chocolate!


Then off to the airport. We were there in plenty of time. We were asked to take an earlier plane (by about 20 minutes) to make room for some folks who were missing their connecting flights. So we had a few minutes to look around from the Maui airport before we got on the long flight home. So, here's pictures of our very short stay in Maui. There were mountains and then some very agricultural looking land.


My brother picked us up at the airport - we got in pretty late at night - and he dropped us off at home. We set our alarms to wake up for work and prepared to return to real life the next day. With a really nice tan.
