We're Back!

We are back from a very relaxing trip to Maui, Hawaii. It was a lot of fun, but as always, we are glad to be home. We stayed in a wonderful suite at the Grand Wailea. I'll blog more about the hotel and the grounds later. Right now, I'll just touch on some likes and dislikes from the trip:

Stunning sunsets

Loved our suite: spacious, quiet and elegant.

Loved the hotel grounds: orchids everywhere, abundant waterfalls, plumeria perfumed air as you walked the grounds.

Beach was amazing. No waves, crystal clear, plenty of space, cool and refreshing water. Great snorkeling close by.

Breath taking beauty on the Road to Hana

Disliked the narrow road with shear drops, blind corners and hairpin turns.

Disliked the speed at which every local drove. No one went over 30 mph, even in the fast lane with the road wide open in front.

Disliked being eaten by mosquitos, I had over 20 bites and they are driving me CRAZY!!!

Very expensive food and drink: $3.91 for a 12oz diet soda, $11.00 for a breakfast sandwich. This was at the hotel, off site it was a less, but still more than normal.

Thank God for Costco and K-mart.

Met up with friends and had a great time.

Disliked that the whole place closed up by 8pm, no night life - unless you like to hang out in bars, then your ok.

All in all, it was AMAZING and RELAXING.
