*So it has taken me 8 months to admit that my trip is over and finally complete this TR! Luckily I had prewritten mostly everything while we were there and taken lots of pictures, otherwise I dont think I would have remembered what we did!
On our last day in Aulani we woke up at almost 7am. We ordered private dining to the room and worked on packing while we waited for breakfast to arrive.
Our food came (DH had the Chinese breakfast, I had the two egg entree with bacon and Aulani potatoes) and we enjoyed it with our tea (green, for him) and cofee (decaf with caramel creamer for me) and with our last view over the resort for this trip. We kept telling ourselves that we would be back, and it was hard to hold back from running down and buying Aulani points!
I did our shopping in the gift shop (and got the $20 Aulani tote - it's such a nice little bag!) and we completed our packing.
While we usually feel blue when faced with vacation ending, we felt even more sad to be leaving this time. At least we knew we were just leaving the room right now and would still have the rest of the day by the pool and in the Luana Lounge.
We took our change of clothes (we were wearing our swim suits) to the Luana lounge, where they not only have TVs, power plugs, computers for airplane check-in, and showers, but they also have lockers - the same as the kind in the spa (4 digit electronic code for locking). The lockers are plenty big enough to keep your change of clothes and other things for the day.
Then we took our luggage to bell services and just checked to make sure there was no problem with us using the pool and facilities. The front desk assured us that we were still welcome to use everything, even our room keys until midnight. So we headed off to the pool for a last trip around the lazy river, a dip in the pools, some relaxing in the tiered hot tub, and then poolside dining.
Just as we were finishing up eating it started to rain so we headed to the Luana Lounge to change (which was pretty crowded, since lots of people had the same idea), and then we took a last trip to the ABC store across the street for souvenirs and airplane snacks.
On our way back we took a few more pictures, then relaxed in the lounge (checking e-mail, writing this TR, and watching Disney XD).
It was a slow and relaxing (if not bittersweet) end to our lovely vacation.
