Friday was our last day on Maui. Check out time was 10 AM but we had that extended to 11am and had the bellman store our bags until our shuttle pickup time of 1:40.
We had lunch at the resort near the pool with a view of the ocean. The shuttle picked us up and made one more stop to pick up another family before delivering us to the airport for our 4:30 flight.
The flight was uneventful until we neared San Diego. We were told that the visibility was less than safety allows for landing and that we might divert to Los Angeles. As we approached San Diego the decision was finally made to divert to LA. We arrived at LAX a little before midnight. Alaska Airlines had arranged for busses to take us to San Diego but there was over an hour delay waiting for the them. Then of course it was a two hour drive to San Diego.
Gerri waited for the shuttle to the parking lot for about a half hour before someone told her that after midnight she had to call for the shuttle. We were finally on the road. Gerri drove to Norco, CA and I took over and drove the rest of the way to Las Vegas. We arrived home at 9:30 AM. It was along day and night at the end of a very enjoyable trip to Hawaii.
