        Ahh, Hawaiin life .  Of course it is beautiful here ,  very warm but quite foggy as a result of the volcano on the Big Island.  It is like a smog that is not good for those with allergies, ie my hubby. We are water front but our room has a mt view not an ocean view, we get shade from about 9:00 am on so we can enjoy our lanai any time of day .  We have found restaurants that are open air & water front, tonight we ate at Bubba Gumps, the coconut shrimp reminded me of the Palladium. Anne, where are you?

            Live from Maui: We are in Lahaina on the south side of Maui. It is about 20 miles from the airport in Kahului.  The beach is shallow in front of our hotel with a reef not too far out so we can snorkel here.  We have a 5 minute walk to the centre of town, the shops on one side are waterfront. At Bubba Gump’s last night, our table was by an open window with the water right below us & we could see & hear the waves. My shrimp was delicious, Ks seafood tacos also very good. Our studio suite has 2 cruiser bikes, nothing mechanical about them so will need to adjust since our mt bikes have gears & brakes. Ha! Our suite has everything we need but we do not plan on cooking except maybe lunches.

                Live from Maui:Another beautiful day here in the South Pacific.  The VOG seems to have blown away and we can see the island. Of Lanai  clearly.  

                        Biked again to get bkfast and spent a great day at the hotel beach.  There is a lot of coral  so water shoes are a must. Tomorrow we will swim out to  the reef and snorkel. It is shallow so no worries about LJC and the water.
                         Lots of kayaking and water boarding  right in front with rentals next door.  We will go kayaking this week sometime.
                           Had a wonderful dinner of Ono ( local white fish) with excellent sides at Captain Jack’s near Cool Cats.  Maybe the best fish ever!  Picked up some groceries at  Foodland and walked the 25 minutes to the hotel. We’re not cooking, just snacks & wine etc. Easy lunches otherwise dine out.
                          …We really like this hotel even though it is pretty basic….it has all that we want.  The clientele. Is generally older so not much noise other than the occasional creaking joint (not the smoking kind). The setup reminds us of our old strata lot days at FAR………good memories.
                      .Our room has free WiFi and the kitchen is uber well equipped. Thank heavens we have air conditioning as it is hot and humid even at night.

                  Live from  Maui: “We are enjoying our suite & its amenities but have not cooked. There are lots of great restaurants so we are enjoying our meals out. We had extreme winds for 2 days but lovely today even though the locals still feel it is too cold. We went to the Maui Ocean Centre yesterday, it was excellent. We snorkelled today, saw several kinds of fish. “
