Due to other priorities - like relaxing and repeating - I fell down on posting, but figured you'd all survive.
We continued working on the Mai Tai recipe - with great shuc-shess. Oooee they're tasty, and packed with Vitamin C - so we are good there.
Sunset Torch-lighting and ceremonial dive from Black Rock.
the warm breeze in the palm trees, and the moon is getting larger...
Every evening was about like this. A few more or less clouds but always a treat to enjoy.
Here's the lovely Tim Osborne. Does he look blurry to you too? OK - it must be the low light.
We enjoyed his music - he played songs we knew... but we did resist the urge to sing along (loudly and poorly).
...my favorite.
From our helo trip to the Haleakala crater and Hana.
A view of the waterfalls you don't get from the road. Our pilot was good - it was windy but he was steady as a rock. Nobody hurled! Always a plus...
Clouds below...blue above...Haleakala in the middle.
At the Pineapple Grill. We are repeat offenders at this place, which is great. The food, the wine, the food, the service, the food - was all just swell.
Our server Laurie was from Vashon Island and she knew some Shrides (Mom's family) from there. Small world.
A look up from our walk on the last full night, which we enjoyed at the Sheraton.
Elvis is still kickin' back at Spanky's Rip Tide in Lahaina.
...this was from Spanky's - the Chicago bar on Maui (really...) where we watched the Blackhawks win Game 6 and The Cup. There were actually other Hawks fans there, and they played Da Chairman of da Board after the win. Truly...My Kind of Town!
Maui and Hockey - seems a strange mix but what a way to end the trip.
To our Chicago friends - you were right here...with us!
OK - we're off to the airport (and 3 plane rides home to KCMO...)
Aloha and Mahalo to you all for making the last 30 years wonderful and special to us. We've surely enjoyed the trip...
Melinda and Jeff
