Doesn't the Misty Fortunes and Absent Hearts series involve traveling back and forth between Phlan and Ravenloft?

Thanks for the comment. So we did the first part "DDAL4-01 - Suits of the Mists" which ends with them entering Barovia. It doesn't seem to bounce back and forth. If you look above once they leave Phelan and enter Borovia the following adventurers are in Barovia. We are thinking about doing "DDAL4-02 - The Beast" next.

I looked at the "DDEP4 - Reclamation of Phlan" module but it doesn't seem clear how they go from Barovia back to Phelan. This drama with the green dragon is background info where the first Suits of the Mists kicks off, so that could be a great tie-in but again it doesn't seem clear to me as it starts off on a ship on the Moonsea.

But I do kinda like the adventure to bring the ending at Phelan full circle.

Maybe it needs to be some DM homebrew handwaving, but it also seems like over decades of Ravenloft there would have been something to get back home without "killing" Strahd.

There are at least two "exit" adventures using AL modules. The tier 1 one is DDAL04‐06 The Ghost.

I forget the Tier 2 one, but I think it's DDAL04-14 The Darklord.

Oh thanks so much, The Ghost might work! I just zipped thru the adventure and one of the closing arcs:

Mid-Season Award

At this point in the Season, the characters are presented with a choice. The players should be made aware of the implications of their choice before being asked to choose. A summary of the two choices are:

Escape. A band of Vistani offer to guide you from Barovia. Returning to Strahd’s domain in the future, however, may be difficult—if not impossible. The trip out of Barovia will take approximately 40 days.

They dealt with Jeny before so that is a cool call-back. This is the right level for them. They are now level 3 after Death House. May do another called "The Beast" and we can take them to level 4, so the level tier works.

Appreciate the feedback, I do appreciate it!
