Hopefully, we have learned from past mistakes (see the fiasco that was Port Elizabeth, SA). Kari and I decided it was time to "Treat Yo Self" so while the girls slept in Kari received some sort of facial and I enjoyed a bamboo massage.
After that the crew rallied. We enjoyed the buffet again. One more day of that and my pants might not button anymore. We elect to take a 6 PM check out from the Fairmont. This worked out beautifully, we chilled by the pool. We took a walk on the beach. Ashley, Katie and I took a bike ride. Katie and Grace got tatted up with some Hanna tattoos. We took showers and headed out around 5PM. The Zags were in the championship and we stopped at a bar/restaurant to finish watching UNC get there too.
The food we had was meritocre at best but everyone seemed mostly satisfied.

So we get checked in and American Airlines cancels our flight after we are through security. There appears to be no speakers at Kona International airport so the message was relayed by word of mouth, smoke signal and rhythmic drumming. Kari managed to get us seats on a plane leaving at 7 AM. I managed to get us another night at the Fairmont for an exorbitant rate. Then we had the pleasure of enjoying an $80 dollar cab ride back to the resort. On the bright side I get to wake Ashley up at 4 AM for a plane flight to Phoenix at 7 AM. With any luck we will be home by midnight Sunday, if not things are gonna get weird pretty fast.
Another typical dumpster fire on travel day when the vacation is over. Pray for us cause we are gonna need it tomorrow.
