Day 8: Saturday, May 10, 2014
We got up around 8 and went to the pool for a few trips down the water slides and tour the lazy river. We had to check-out at 11 (sad face) so we took our bags to the car and went back to the swap meet at Aloha Stadium to get some last minute souvenirs and yo see if I could find the earrings that I lost at the secret beach. I am happy yo say I did find them but a lighter shade of coral and I got 3 more pairs to go with them. We also all bought candies fir our co-workers.
We then went to Ramen Ya and got big bowls of Japanese ramen which is totally different than the top ramen I get at the store for like 50 cents. It was hot, filling, and delicious.
We filled the rental car with gas at Costco and then headed back to Aulani. Since we still had our pool passes, we could use them and the resort for the rest of the day and they even have a special lounge where you can shower and get ready for your flight- Disney really thinks of everything.
We decided to do the Menehune Adventure Trail which is like a magical scavenger hunt. We had a special iPad that gave us clues and took us all around the resort and made cool stuff happen, like a waterfall in the pool, or rocks turning into the island chain that is Hawaii. It took a few hours but we really fun. We then lounged by the pool, got one last shave ice (Haupia, Guava, Mango... Yum!!), went to the lounge, then headed to the airport around 8, with a brief stop at the ABC Store for a late night snack for the plane.
Our flight was set to leave at 10 and we got there in plenty of time. It was an uncomfortable but oddly quick 5 hours to LAX. We had a very short layover and we got home to SLC at 10:30 am on Mother's Day.
