Day 14 was our last day on the Big Island. We all got up early to shower, pack, eat breakfast, and receive grades. Then, it was off to Maui for a little rest and relaxation time in Lahaina. On the way to the airport, the luggage truck broke down. Heiau rocks. This was the second of our unfortunate events. Luckily, another truck was able to get to the broken down truck in time to load our luggage and get it to the airport in time for us to take off.
In Maui, the kids were able to lay out by the pool, shop, and go out to eat. In addition, several decided to get up at 3am and travel up to the summit of Haleakala. This is 10,000 feet up...we were able to see the sunrise above the clouds. On our way down from Haleakala, we found out that Phoenix was experiencing a horrible sandstorm and it was effecting travel. Of course this is where we were headed that evening on our flight back home to the mainland. This was the third round of bad news for us in a short amount of time. Heiau rocks...
