Comfortably ensconced in our suite in Maui, recovering from the beating we put our bodies through with airports and three days of wandering around the 300 acres of Disneyland and environs (which I think we covered about four times over.)
I absolutely love it here. This is our second time in Maui and it's just a completely different world. Clean, quiet, peaceful, friendly. Very unlike Oahu, which is busier and more crowded-- more for a party kind of crowd.
The hotel is absolutely gorgeous. We'll be taking some pics later. Unfortunately the pool with the swim-up bar is closed for deck resurfacing, but that's not a big deal. We had breakfast on our lanai this morning, and a cardinal came up wanting to share. When he realized we didn't have anything for him, he pooped on a chair and then flew away. Typical redhead attitude. ;) There are also some loud mynas around, too (not the big talking kind, just the small noisy ones.)
I love traveling in low season. Few kids, few crowds, not too hot, cheap rates (no way would I have paid rack rate for this place in high season. Egad. You could buy a car for that.) I feel a little guilty about spending so much money as it is, but, damn, it's worth it.
Mike and I were joking to each other this morning that we should work on committing as many of the 7 deadly sins as we can this trip. I think we're well on our way so far. A little more lust and sloth sounds good, though.
( random notes to myself for later ponderance )
