Returning home

Hawaii-born Cheesa Laureta, who was eliminated April 24 from NBC's singing competition "The Voice," returned home from Los Angeles April 28 for some rest and relaxation. Friends and family, including her sign-bearing niece, 12-year-old Tatiana Cabasag, awaited her arrival in Hono­lulu Airport's baggage claim area. Laureta heads back to Los Angeles later this month with plans to record and possibly write songs for an album. She is also weighing doing some live shows.
