October 25 – International Dateline, Coconut Grove Lunch, Home

October 25 (Day 14 –  International Dateline, Coconut Grove Lunch, Home): The longest day! Dateline, lunch at Coconut Grove, home. We had to pack up this morning. We took our suitcases over to the airport at 8:00 so that they would be sure to make it to Nadi! The desk people assured us that the bags would be on the 2:20 flight and would be waiting for us in Nadi. Then, we headed to the international date line! It is close to the fire station. Pretty cool. Got pictures. No one was coming to our house today, so Robert and vena said we could stay past checkout! We went to lunch at the Coconut Grove restaurant. I wasn't feeling well, but had spring rolls. (I think it was the altitude pill). The cleaning crew wanted to get started in the afternoon, but we got a little rest. Off to the airport at around 5:00. Our bags were gone... good sign! We had an uneventful flight back to Nadi. Our bags were waiting for us! We didn't have to wait long to check our baggage... then we hung out in the airport. Our flight was delayed about an hour. Took almost an hour to load! As good a flight as can be expected. Rod and I both slept. Reentry to the US was easy... just lines. More time hanging around in the airport. Got home at 11:01 PM! To bed!
