Wedding Adventure - Day 11 - Hawaii to Vegas

Today we had to say goodbye to our room at Turtle Bay and our trusty cute little red Jeep. Leaving the hotel, we made one last stop at Pahipahi’alua Beach on Kawela Bay to scoop up some sand for safe keeping and display at home with the octopus. We stopped at the bakery in Haleiwa to pick up lunch and ate it at the beach park. We then made the drive across the island to the Honolulu airport.

Our flight left Honolulu at 4PM local time and was much faster going back to Vegas, at just over 5 hours. The Hawaiian Airlines 767 was not quite as nice inside as the one on the way out, but the flight still went by quickly while we listened to music and watched movies on our iPod. We were given turkey croissantwiches to eat and they were pretty good.

We arrived back in Vegas with all of our baggage and grabbed a cab to the Hard Rock Hotel right about midnight. It was a pretty deserted Monday night, but the room was very cool and modern. Overall the place has a pretty rocking vibe with the constant loud tunes in the casino and tons of rock and roll memorabilia everywhere. The entire wall of Elvis stuff is very cool. After grabbing some snacks from the 24-hours store off the casino, we crashed for the night.
