I’ve been asked by a number of people to share my favourite thing about Maui…

so I’ve been thinking about it… and I can’t come up with just one thing…

over the last week I’ve printed a group of my favourite photos… and have been looking them over and remembering the particular moments each one represents…

there were so many special times… the ocean, the beaches, the rainbows, the trees, the turtles, the vegetation, the orchids, the flowers, snorkelling, the waterfalls, the food, the helicopter flight, the cacao trees, and on and on…

it really was two weeks of bliss;-)…

yesterday my son-in-law and youngest grandson came over…

we ran out and got a few errands done and then made a late lunch…

my son-in-law barbecued steaks and my grandson sliced mushrooms and chopped lettuce for our salad…

first barbecue of the year and it was delicious…

while the steaks were cooking my son-in-law cleaned up a bit of the yard and the pond… and he found three clumps of frog spawn…

been listening to frogs croaking since I’ve been home, so very excited and hopeful that we will have lots of tadpoles and frogs…

then we walked over to Sargent Sundae for ice cream, although it was a bit chilly, lol…

jealous…

little bit jealous this afternoon…

walked by the window and noticed this cat laying in the sun on the back deck…

was wishing I could have been there but the yard hasn’t been raked or the furniture moved and cleaned…

and it wasn’t quite warm enough for me to get out there and clean it up…

well, another moving day… we left the lovely garden of the Gingerbread Airbnb and went up the island to Lahaina…

we hadn’t been this way before so it was all new…

I cannot say enough about The Snorkel Store… besides providing our snorkel gear, chairs, umbrella and cooler, they have arranged tours and provided all kinds of answers to the many questions we have had… every single staff person has been personable and helpful… excellent customer service;-)…

they also provide a snorkelling report by email daily which really helps to decide which beach to go to…

I started following them on Instagram a few months ago… @thesnorkelstore

if you are going to visit Maui, you should check them out…

Maui, day six…

beach, big girl pants, flowers, garden, Maui day six, moving, pictures, rocks, turtles, widow

today was moving day…

we moved from the Maui Beach Hotel to the Gingerbread House Airbnb…

and we went to Ho’okipa Beach Park and saw green sea turtles… we were at this park a few days back but didn’t notice the turtles…

it is easy to think they are rocks on the beach, lol… they are protected and the area around them is blocked off so you can’t get too close, but I got a few good shots with my camera… they move very slowly but leave a serious trail in the sand… watching them move when they are on the beach is quite different from their arrival as they surf onto the sand…
