Started off our first full day in Maui with the road to Hana. Words can’t really describe the beauty, the trees, the waterfalls, and of course the world-famous road itself. We grabbed some breakfast at Baked on Maui and continued down the road for a bit until we pulled off and walked towards a beach Sarah said we needed to see. I wasn’t quite ready for what I saw: sea turtles! 8 or 10 really old and really large sea turtles.
The time change is a wacky thing, traveling east to west. It seemed like the day was never going to end. We gathered up the luggage, found the rental Jeep, and we were off. Picked up some food and found our first beach of the day. Quick picnic and we were off to check into our hotel for the night. Ended up in downtown for a few drinks, snacks, and to watch the Knicks beat San Antonio. Finished Day 0 with a sunset and cigars under the rainbow. Only good days ahead!
Live-blogging at 33000 feet! After some very well disguised foreshadowing, we are off on vacation. For the first time since the disaster in the Bahamas 2 years ago. And this one is a big one: Maui. With the friend group. I promised that I would be good, not visit any hospitals, and be on the return flight next week. So here we go! Thanks for the early morning ride to DIA kids! Denver, to San Diego, and finally to Maui. And look who we found in San Diego! Weirdly enough, it was exactly 14 years ago today that the entire family were here in San Diego on our adventure, 3 days after I was diagnosed with cancer. Where does time go?
Clearing the deck of a few random activities as vacation looms. Enjoyed ice cream with the kids at the new Edison’s. Last time all of us will be together for most of the month of June, as Than and Ruthie take their trip to Mexico and Andrew and Ari head to Europe for their honeymoon and an EF Tours trip. Jen and I head out on vacation soon too! Made it to a Rotary meeting. Peaking my head out during a proclamation at Council. Bella girl and some walks!
