Hawaii

So in December Paul told me that he wanted to go to Hawaii.
My response.
No No No.
Money is so tight during the holiday season
let alone how the economy was slumping.
Ya right! What was he thinking?

But the man is persistent.

So we booked the trip. $2000 for hotel, car, airfare.
What a steal.....!
We had too much fun. A TROPICAL get away.
When we arrived in Maui, we went strait to
the Paki Maui to find out they over booked,
and we have been upgraded to the Ka'anapali Shores!
This newer resort had 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, & a spa.
We were thrilled.
We went on the took the Road to Hana,
making several stops along the way.
We saw a sea turtle in the surf, it would poke its head out of the water.
We watched huge waves crash in to the lava rock along the shore line.
It would make this loud boom, amazing!
I collected sea shells from among the tide pools,
and spied on black crabs trying to camouflage themselves on the black lava rocks.
Our favorite stop was the Waianapanapa Stake Park.
The black sand beach was amazing, the caves, the folk lore, and
the rocks along the shore were spectacular.
We snorkeled, we hiked, we swam, we tanned, we took lots of pictures.
We enjoyed every tropical minute of it all.
Our favorite place to hang out was Lahina or the beach.
We went for a whale watch and had many spectacular whale sitings.
I am so glad Paul doesn't listen to me all the time... or we wouldn't have gone.
