Getting home was quite a challenge. We got picked up at our hotel in Koror at midnight. We had a 3:10 AM departure and a two hour flight to Guam. There was only one hour until the flight to Honolulu, and we had to go through immigration and customs, etc. I actually had to use a QR scan for the very first time for the embarkation code. I was very nervous that it wouldn't go through but, sure enough, they scanned it and it worked.
Then, there was a seven hour overnight flight across the International Date Line to Honolulu.
It was 6PM when we arrived. It was sort of an out of body experience.
