Up bright and early today, wondering how we will be getting in touch with
Shan and Ana. I headed over to our wifi spot by the pool and checked my email
and Facebook, hoping there would be a message from her, and there was!
Grant and I headed over to her unit to wish her a happy Aloha and good
morning. They had an exhausting time getting to the island complete with an
unexpected layover and a three hour delay, so we're quite happy for a quiet
night to just crash. We gave her directions to Wailea and planned to meet her
there.
The swells were a rolling in when we got here though, and the yellow
and red flag flying let us know it probably wasn't going to be a great snorkel
day. Regardless, we got in the water and went for a swim around to turtle town.
We didn't have much more luck in finding many turtles but a couple of them
graced us with their presence. We were lucky to see them at all as the swells
were really reducing the visibility. Swimming back in, I didn't even see the
bright red Spanish dancer until she was dancing around in front of my face. She
was glorious, flapping and swimming away with her skirt a blazing. She was a
first for me and I was really cursing my camera that decided not to work at that
moment.
The kids were enjoying the big waves with their boogie boards. They were
riding away on them having a great time. Some of the swells were way over their
heads but they were loving the motion of the ocean. They also absolutely love
Ana and her endless patience with their antics. Brook and Syd especially
idolize her and have so much fun.
Hubby's daily workout.
We headed back to our condo afterwards for visits, weekly planning, a bit
o'rum drinks and then a trip to the pool. It was cut short by the horrible pool manager. Cam was
enjoying a soak in the hot tub with us before she came and kicked her out again.
She left the pool, walking with her head low, dragging her arms and then burst
into tears. We packed up and left, the mood was spoiled.
We talked up the Costco ice Cream and the supper there,
so we all headed into Kahului for supper and some groceries, then we showed the
girls where Safeway was before we rented the kids a couple movies and went back
to the hotel for more visiting and drinks.
Eventually they had to head back to their condo but tomorrow is another
day. Nothing spices up the day like great friends.
