The Hot Spots in Maui

SugarMom & Ashley just hanging out on the beach and petting the beach turtle.

The proper way to test if a pineapple is ripe is to . . . well, just smell the dang thing -- or is she kissing it?

The Safeway is better than the beach for people watching. Mac brought Alice to the Safeway as a birthday trip, knowing she would really enjoy it. When we're done at Safeway, Mac is going to let Alice do some laundry.

Birthday Celebration at Hula Grill

Talking with Jami & Lauren on the speakerphone from Maui. Kate the Great is checking out a cool looking dude on the beach.

Jess and Ashley hamming it up and chilling while we wait for lunch. And it was a long wait.

Poppy & SugarMom enjoy the wonderful birthday gift certificates ordered by Jon, Jami, Jack & Lauren at the Hula Grill in Whaler's Village.

Hitting the Links in Kaanapali

The Poppy, Ashley & Jess had a great day on the South Course at Kaanapali

Check out the ball mark on the 142 yard Par 3 3rd Hole where Ashley hit the pin on the fly, had the ball slam to the green (leaving a huge ball mark), and then skidding about 9 feet away. Ashley lipped out the birdie, and settled for a gimmee par.

Ready to attend Church at the Lahaina 1st Ward, it feels just like home.

Poppy & SugarMom heading for Church.


Ashley, Kates & SugarMom groovin at Gump's Shrimp House (I'm not sure of the exact name of the restaurant. Katy had a great hamburger, Jess had some really terrible fish.

Off to Maui

Hanging out in the Delta Crown Room on a 4 hour layover in LAX.



Poppy & SugarMom are ready to climb aboard for the grueling 5 hour and 25 minute flight from LAX to Maui.



Jess, Katy & Ash hamming it up at LAX. They don't look like they will mind the flight at all.


Finally, arriving at Maui Airport -- Waiting for luggage for 40 minutes, waiting for rental car for 45 minutes, driving to Kaanapalli for 50 minutes -- the wait: Worth It.

More to come.
