We have a tough schedule here. Every Morning I get up at 7:00, put on the coffee and the tea kettle, and then walk to the resort office to pick up the Maui News. Back to the room to make and eat a hearty breakfast, look over the paper and check our emails and messages from home.
By 9:00 we are off to one of the local beaches, for a walk on the sand, a quick dip in the ocean (76 F today) and an hour or so in the morning sun. Back to the condo swimming pool to wash the salt off my body and my board shorts and swim a few laps, followed by a leisurely soak in the hot tub, and a bit of relaxation by the pool. Then, it's back up to our room for a light lunch, after which we are off to the market or a bit of sightseeing to get out of the midday sun. Back again to the pool for a quick dip, followed by the hot tub (104 F) until it's time for sunset (about 6:12). We walk or drive to one of our favorite spots for sunset watching, possibly grabbing a couple of shave ices on the way. Then back to the condo to grill dinner at the outdoor barbecue area. After cleaning up after dinner, we usually watch something on Apple TV or TiVo, then look over the photos of the day before having a nightcap and off to bed. It's a tough life, but I'm getting used to it. When my son gets here, next Wednesday, we will do more active exploring, like a trip up to the top of the volcano, a whale watch, and some snorkeling or diving. We will also eat dinner our a few times at our local favorites, although some have closed forever because of COVID. Today's morning beach excursion was a few miles south to Po'olenalena Beach Park, which we like to call secret beach, because the entrance is difficult to spot and the parking lot rough and unpaved. Still, it always seems to attract several groups of visitors and local families. It is a very popular site for beach weddings. On our first trip to this beach, my wife fell in love with this house on the neighboring peninsula. We come to see it and photograph it every year, and think of it as our dream vacation home (although it is WAY out of our price range). It was even used as the opening scene on the Nat Geo Channel's show about Hawaiian real estate. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2022/1/27/house K-5 IIs, smc DA 18-135 mm F 3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR Comments, criticisms, and suggestions are invited and appreciated.
