Day 16: Honolulu, Hawaii to Home

Day 16                7/20/06            Honolulu, Hawaii to Home

We got to the airport pretty early and got our luggage through the Agricultural check and checked through to Grand Rapids. We boarded our last flight to LAX with our group and arrived on time. We said goodbye to our groups and then retreated to the Northwest Terminal to wait out our six hour layover. We passed the time marveling at how expensive the food was at the airport, reading, and playing cards. We even got a fellow from Wisconsin and a girl who was returning home to Italy to play our card game, Class Struggle.

Having fun in the airport

Our flight to Detroit was OK, but we had to lap the airport because one of the runways was delayed. The reason was because a deer was hit by one of the planes on the runway.

We spent our last few hours at the airport exploring and getting excited about our last leg of the trip. The trip to Grand Rapids was uneventful and we were met by family. Our luggage also arrived and we said our goodbyes.
