That dot on the rocks is Mark fishing. It's been beautiful the last two days. Here is my advice for anyone who comes to Maui. ONE WEEK IS NOT LONG ENOUGH! In spite of all the tourists, of which there are plenty even during this recession, it is a truly beautiful place. It takes at least two days to get into "island mode" and then you blink your eyes and it's your last day. Times a wasting, off to the pool.

That's More Like It!

A Rainy Day on Maui
is better than a rainy day anywhere else! But two rainy days is pushing it. The first two days were beautiful and we had to make many difficult decisions. Do I walk east or west on the beach? Does Mark fish or snorkel? Do we sit at the pool or on the beach? Wine or beer? Tuna or shrimp? You get the idea.
Yesterday we opted for the Sugar Museum, Walmart and a Scrapbooking Store because they were inside! We got some clearing late in the afternoon so a long walk for me an some fishing for Mark made up for the lost morning. Today it looked like it might clear so before the "showers" rolled in I took off for my walk. By the time I got home I looked like I was in a wet t-shirt contest - not a pretty sight. . So I dried off and we went out for lunch, took in a show along with all the other tourists (Slumdog Millionaire - not for everyone but a good story) and played cards. And I'm blogging while Mark, the eternal optimist, is out buying bait - then we are going out for sushi. Hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow.

First Blog of 2009
Can any one tell me what happened in the last half of the 1900s? It's all just a blur to me and here it is almost a decade into the 2000s. I hope everyone had a fabulous New Year's Eve - we had a great time celebrating with "the kids". Our son Scott and his wife Tiffany, and our California friends Lauren and Seth, joined us around the fondue pot. Sticking bit size pieces of food into boiling concoctions at Christmas time has been a tradition in our family for 20 years - and it never ceases to amaze me how full you can get after eating steadily for several hours.
