Last Day-Headed Home

Cant believe we are doing this already. Is it really time to go home? Yes we miss Fynnie and it feels right to be going home, but the week just went by so quickly. After breakfast we were all trying to get our last taste of the ocean before we had to really say goodbye to it. 

I wanted to get the last feel of the sand between my toes. Because it'll be awhile before I get to do this again.

Really our agenda for the day was to get packed, checked out of the resort and get our last and final pictures together.

The huge Christmas tree right in the middle of the resort that we got to see everyday we were here to remind us that it really was Christmas. Being in the warm sun it didn't really make me think that it was December. 

We made it to the airport just fine and through security. Mom had noticed that back at home it was stormy and it was causing alot of delays on flights. Our flight got pushed back an hour and we had a 5 hour layover in LA.

Taking off and looking over the bay where we stayed and thinking about how all the memories over the past week were going to be never forgotten. Audios Puerto Vallarta. It has been a great vacation!!!

When we landed in LA we all got out luggage to take through customs. Which is all audomated with computers. Crazy. Then we had to go through security again. And for some random reason Jesse and Andrew had to be searched like crazy. Which took forever. And my carry-on bags going through security  both needed to be checked. But there wasn't anyone around to check it. So I had to stand there forever waiting for someone to go through them. With that and Jesse's pat down it took us forever to get through security. Thank goodness our layover was 5 hours and we had time to kill or else we all would have been stressed to catch our next flight.

Once we found our gate we all went and got some food. And then just chilled until we boarded the plane.

Then time came to board. Everyone was settled with their baggage in the over head compartments when the pilot came over the com to tell us they didn't have a Co-pilot. Um ok. Now what? They acted like it would only take a little bit to figure it out. Apparently the Co-pilot that was suppose to get on our plane was on another plane that got redirected to another city and they were waiting for her to come over to LA.

I set a timer to see how long "a little bit" would take. 2 hours and 54 mins later we were finally pulling off of the runway. Thankfully I had a book to read, the boys handled it like champs and Fynn wasn't with us or else that 3 hour wait would have been miserable.

We landed in SLC around 2 am. Got our bags and Chantel came to get us in our truck. Well when she pulls up Jesse notices that the gas light is on and remembers that it was like that when we got dropped off at the airport last week. Well we don't make it out of the airport before we totally run out of gas.  Thankfully an airport cop pulled up and called  a sevice truck to bring us 2 gallons of gas to get us to where we could fill up. 

We drove to the nearest gas station to fill up. Its 3:00am and we are just laughing how this whole trip home has just been miserable. Haha. 

We get home. Get the boys in bed and then we hear Fynn talking in his bed. My mom had put him to bed in his bed so he would be home when we got home. Jesse and I went in there to see him and he just giggled to see us. We took him in to see Ryker and he continued to giggle. Oh what a sweet reunion to end on this long day. 

Jesse and I showered and went to bed at 4am. Haha. What a day!
