We arrived in Kahului and stopped off at the K-mart to clean out our rental car. We did a pretty good job cleaning it out and relatively fast. We threw out all of our junk into a trash can in the parking lot of Kmart.
With a nice clean car, we returned the rental, checked our baggage and went thru screening/xrays. Once we got in, we realized that our cell phones are missing. Zenia told me that she put it in a bag when we were cleaning out the car at the Kmart. I said that I saw a bag sitting on the chair and asked her if I could throw it away. I thought she may have said yes and I threw it away. We weren't totally sure if we threw it away and tried to re-live the moment of trashing stuff, but we couldn't quite figure it out.
With three hours before we flew out, we decided to hail a taxi cab at the airport and take it back to the Kmart. When we arrived at the airport, we dug thru the trash can (even the cab driver was helping us!). To no avail, we could not find the cell phones. We thought it was lost forever (even our National Park Passport that has records of every national park we've been to was in that bag!) We returned back to the airport (a $15 cab ride later), had a nice dinner at the airport, trying to figure out what we trashed, over and over again. We got on the plane, crashed hard, and both slept most of the trip.
When we arrived at the airport back in Los Angeles, we took a shuttle back to our car. While we were in the shuttle we hear Zenia's phone beeping in the suitcase! When we got to our car, we threw open the suitcase and behold, both of our phones were found, and our passport too!
The vacation ended up perfectly.
