<\/p>\nHello Again from Kihei, Hawaii<\/p>\n
Friday morning\u00a0 \u2013 May 14, 2021\u00a0\u00a0 (Second post of this travelogue)<\/p>\n
The title says \u201cagain\u201d, but actually all of the posts will be from here.\u00a0 I did not say in the first post that Kihei is on the island of Maui.<\/p>\n
I wanted to talk a bit about our 2003 trip here.\u00a0 Pat had earned a cruise around the islands and out to an \u201cinternational\u201d island.\u00a0 We had planned to go a week early and daughter Lisa and her family were going to spend that week with us.\u00a0 Like this trip, we left Evergreen in a snow storm.\u00a0 When I say snow, I really mean SNOW.\u00a0 We had 6 feet of snow the day prior to our scheduled flight (see photo).\u00a0 Pat was in constant contact with the travel agency and they finally advised us late the day that we were scheduled to leave that Denver International would be re-opening late in the day and if we could get there, we could catch a flight to LA.\u00a0 I told Pat there was no way we could make it, as I was having a terrible time plowing the driveway.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Well, we did make it (even drove down our tight twisty canyon road that was only plowed to one lane).\u00a0 We made it to LA with no problem, but of course, could not make a connection to Maui that evening.\u00a0 They got us on a flight the next day and we made it just fine, albeit a day late.\u00a0 When I talked to the condo manager, he said I would still have to pay for the day we missed.\u00a0 I told him the situation and he said if I could prove it, he would not charge us for the day we missed.\u00a0 I sent him the photo below and we were not charged {grin}<\/p>\n
Now for this trip.\u00a0 We have really been cooling our jets.\u00a0 Our AirBnb is a nice place with a great little patio that we have been enjoying to the max.\u00a0 The weather could not be better and the trees and shrubs outside our patio are gorgeous (see photo).\u00a0 If you look closely, you will see beautiful flowers in the top of the tree in the foreground (you can click on the picture and then zoom in).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Yesterday we had a fun situation.\u00a0 We have been long-time members of The Ghost Town Club of Colorado.\u00a0 During Covid they have switched to Zoom meetings each month.\u00a0 We were able to \u201cattend\u201d the meeting from our condo.\u00a0 It was interesting because the meeting in Denver was at 7:30 PM but that is 3:30PM here (four hours difference).<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we move to the Grand Wailea Resort to begin being treated to all the luxury.<\/p>\n
I will cover the story about the bus in the next post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
