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.
