We awoke to our last day in Maui. We were sad to be leaving because we had been having so much fun, especially at the Wailea Beach Marriott hotel. Its location is unbeatable and the boys just loved the amenities. The boys and I met my wife for breakfast between her meetings. She was still… Continue reading July 2019 – Day 15 Diary
We woke up to enjoy the breakfast buffet for the second day. This would be our last full day in Hawaii. We had an afternoon flight the next day so we'd have a little time, but not a full day to enjoy. Black Lava BeachSince my wife had to get up early and work I… Continue reading July 2019 – Day 14 Diary
The boys jumped up out of bed this morning when the alarm when off. They knew it was surfing day and couldn't wait! Breakfast... At the Hotel?The previous night we got a phone call late in the evening after we had mostly gone to bed. I was a bit annoyed to have to get up… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 13
We had something to get up for this morning. Today was the day we'd be going on a pineapple tour! My wife and I had gone one on our first trip to Maui over a decade earlier but we regretfully didn't prioritize it on our trip two years ago. We were really looking forward to… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 12
My wife used the morning to catch up on some rest and the boys joined in. They weren't up until after 9 am. Being the first morning of the trip without a hotel breakfast, we had to go out on our own to find something. Luckily the Shops at Wailea, where we had eaten the… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 11
The kids continued to sleep late. Playing in the ocean really gets their energy out. We've been pretty good about managing the amount of time they are in the sun so we haven't had any major sunburns yet, thankfully. We got up and headed to the lobby to meet my wife... who texted back that… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 10
It was our last full day in this part of the island before moving east to Wailea Beach and our favorite hotel on the island. We didn't have anything specific to do so after breakfast we headed off to the beach. Beach TimeI'm not much of a beach person. The sand and sun get to… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 9
It was another early morning for my wife, but luckily I slept very well. I felt nearly fully recovered from my cold that had held me back the previous day. It's no fun feeling under the weather on vacation but at least it seemed like it would only be for a day. Laundry DayWhen we… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 8
My wife woke up early again for work. When I eventually woke up I realized I had developed a bit of a cold. I was congested with a sore throat and a little bit of a cough. A hot shower helped a little for a few minutes, but the telltale body aches and general miserableness… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii Diary – Day 7
