Kamala Harris was seen jetting back to reality on Monday following her six-day post-election retreat in Hawaii with husband Doug Emhoff.
The failed presidential candidate took nearly a week off to lick her electoral wounds at a luxury rental home in the true-blue island state, watching sunsets that turn the ocean the color of a strawberry milkshake.
The couple laid low at a $1,300-a-night vacation property, rarely venturing out even with their Secret Service detail there to protect her.
Harris was scheduled to return on Monday to Washington, D.C., where she still has work to do as the President of the Senate which is expected to spend much of the rest of its time in Democrat hands by confirming federal judges.
The vacation property was booked out through Wednesday, according to its website.
Exclusive DailyMail.com footage shows the VP’s convoy to the airport on Monday morning was at least 22 cars long, with Secret Service black Chevrolet Suburbans, unmarked muscle cars, a SWAT truck, fire truck, and helicopter escort.
The pair boarded Air Force Two at Kona International at around 9:45am, taking off shortly after 10am.
Harris, 60, wore a white jacket and black pants, with her hair in a bun. The VP smiled and waved to her staff as she walked aboard. Doug followed with a black polo shirt and khaki pants.
She chose the Big Island for a six-day post-election R&R retreat after her crushing November 5 defeat.
Residents spotted Air Force Two landing at Kona Airport on the big island of Hawaii last Tuesday evening and ‘a thirty-car police motorcade and helicopters’ escorting her to the Mauna Kea resort on the northwest coast.
Harris and Emhoff – who is also 60 and exactly one week older than her – chose a 5,200 sq. ft, five-bedroom elite home owned by a scion of the Mondavi wine family.
According to an online rental listing, the holiday home ‘includes three complimentary bottles of Mondavi family wine with every reservation’ so the second couple can drown their sorrows from her disaster at the polls.
The couple likely discussed her political future after she leaves her post on January 20.
