Hawai’i 2007: Day Ten

August 29th, 2007

Travel day home… certainly the least favorite day of any vacation unless you’re a four year old boy who misses his toys.

We woke up at 7am Hawaii time and I went to drop off the snorkel gear as Mommy got the kids ready for breakfast. Since we packed last night we only had a few last minute items to pack this morning.

We ate breakfast at Kai which serves buffet style, my least favorite style of food delivery. I much prefer cook to order food over precooked, multiple human contact and possible germ contamination via less then steril patrons. I ate boxed cereal, tofu, potatoes and rice. Fairly safe. The kids ate pancakes, eggs, bacon and cereal between them. Mommy ate eggs, bacon, potatoes and fruit.

After breakfast we played some billards and foosball. By then it was time to check out and head to the airport. Dropped off the rental car, hopped in the shuttle. Ate a $30 lunch that looked and tasted like cardboard at the Kona airport.

In Maui we ordered Aiden a cheeseburger for the flight which took for too long to have served. Then back on the plane for the long flight to Portland. The kids were really good on the plane, I was very pleased. Aiden was ready to land with about 30 minutes to go but I entertained him with paddy cake and tickles.

We grabbed a towncar for a nice ride home and now it’s time for bed. Another excellent vacation in Hawai’i completed.
