Baba was taken to a room in the hospital and a doctor came to examine him. Eruch tried to explain, "He is not a patient! We only wanted a room in which to rest until our plane leaves. We have to catch a plane in a few hours, so we must be taken back in time." After taking Baba's temperature, the doctor and nurse left, and Baba motioned to Eruch to lock the door. They had a wash, and Baba laid down on the bed and covered himself with a sheet. Don, Nariman and Adi arrived, and after a couple hours they returned to the airport.

Baba was still in the wheelchair when he expressed an urge to urinate. There were no toilets nearby and, besides, the wheelchair would not fit into the toilet stalls. Eruch (who always carried an aluminum cup for such purposes) told the other mandali to occupy both side-booths of a telephone booth while he wheeled Baba into the middle one. They did so, pretending to talk on the telephone as Eruch lifted Baba, who urinated into the cup, which Eruch emptied into a toilet.

Continuing at 6:45 P.M., they boarded TWA Flight 801 for New York, where they landed at Idlewild (now called Kennedy) airport three hours late at 9:30 A.M. on Saturday, 17 May. According to Baba's instructions, no one met them at the airport (except for Jay Corrinet, who helped them through customs). They continued their journey by plane at 10:50 A.M. via National Flight 325 for Wilmington, North Carolina, where they landed at 3:30 P.M. There they were met and driven to Myrtle Beach where Baba was accorded a loving welcome by Elizabeth, Kitty and a few other close ones. The majority of those attending the sahavas had been instructed not to come to the Center before the 19th.

After several postponements, this was Baba's third visit to Myrtle Beach. Two hundred and fifteen "birds" from England, France, Switzerland, Israel, Mexico and different parts of the United States began arriving.  Longtime lovers such as Charles Purdom, Delia DeLeon, Anita Vieillard, Hedi Mertens, Margaret Craske, Darwin and Jeanne Shaw, Enid Corfe, Sam Cohen, and John Bass arrived, as well as newer ones like Filis Frederick, Adele Wolkin, Fred and Ella Winterfeldt, Ivy and Charmian Duce, Don Stevens, Agnes Baron, Fred Marks, Joyce Bird, Mary Parry, Ken and Alice Lawton, Harry Kenmore, Henry and Kecha Kashouty, and others who had met Baba during his 1952 and 1956 visits.
