Oh, they ditched them long ago.  Right before they left Siberia.

Puddin, if that's true and the date on the camera is correct, then  possibly it's just a decoy photo and not a spoiler one.  A speculative time line could be pit stop at 11 am., film for an hour or two, then go to the airport, do some decoy stuff at the airport, and then fly to Honolulu for the night.  I don't think the racers would fly home that same day.

Seeing all of the Amazing Race paraphernalia out in the open if they were arriving  seems kind of strange.  Why call attention when it's not needed?

Pedaler, the last time I flew back from Honolulu, the one thing I remember is that flights to the East Coast typically left around 1pm to land early morning. the latest you can effectively leave to arrive by late afternoon is slightly after 9pm.  For flights to LAX they leave around 11pm to land around noon. So that means that there would have been an array of options for booking flights back to the U.S. My guess is that few teams hung around Hawaii after being away from home well over 3 weeks. They would preferentially have flown out on the afternoon or evening of Nov. 21, depending on where they were going.

DrRox:
While we work on a true time for this photo......where was this photo actually taken, geographicly, that is. Here are some things to take note of in the pic. There is a car, parked, over Mike White's right shoulder. The road sign indicates a two lane road. There is a very brisk wind blowing those palm trees. Trade winds are from the E/NE. How many rows of cars are there in the parking lot? There are cross walk signs, just beyond the racers.



Was it taken here, at Airport 1????



Or was it taken here, at Airport 2????  The yellow pin is misplaced. It should be between the two cross walks.

It is my understanding that following the wrap party, racers did not depart until 11/22.

Again, the owner of the camera lives in CA, which still does NOT mean that the time is set correctly.

The photo was taken while the source "waited for their rental car", if that helps?

Also I have referenced a shot of Kahului Airport which looks a match to me.



Also note that the Final Mat spoiler says that the MAT took place AFTER 11AM, not AT 11AM....

Slowhatch:
It may be that Hawaii Commercial and Sugar company has provided us with a datestamp. At first the conditions in the photo looked blustery/rainy. Checking the Weather Underground for PHOG, though, shows no significant rain for 19-21 and only a few drops on the 22nd. The curious entry, though, is on the 21st: smoke for most of the day. According to this article, "Maui snow" is a phenomenon that occurs every 18 months when HC&S burns their fields in central Maui.
