Question

A person traveled to another city for Shabbat and slept there over Shabbat. Where should he light the Hanukkah candles on Motzaei Shabbat if he can return to his home only about three hours after Shabbat ends?

Answer

Shalom u’vracha 

If possible, he should appoint a messenger to light the candles in his home immediately at the end of Shabbat. 

And if he cannot send a messenger, he should light in the house where he stayed for Shabbat, remain there on Motzaei Shabbat, and eat the Melaveh Malkah meal there.
