Wednesday, November 17, 2010

I wasn't sure the weather here could get any better, but today it did. The Trade Winds that had been spiking up in the afternoon the last several days disappeared today. It was a bit disconcerting in the pool as I had to provide my own power to move around in the bean bag instead of letting the wind blow me around. Bummer! We also saw a mother and baby turtle right in front of the pool. It appeared that the mother was teaching the baby how to catch the little fish that swim close to shore.

The cocktail party we went to last night had a problem as they ran out of food shortly after we got there. We did get an egg roll and some beef on a stick, but they only had one bartender so it took quite a while to get a drink, and it wasn't very good when it came. Apparently there was another bigger party at the Royal Hawaiian we missed because Dick left his cell phone in the room charging. However, we know how to improvise. We walked over to the Outrigger Reef and had a drink in their beach bar, and then ended up here at the beach bar for a nightcap. The evening was not lost!

We are going to an Italian restaurant tonight and renting a car tomorrow to explore the island a bit. Hard to believe the week is going so fast. Also hard to believe we may be returning to snow! Mele Kalekemaka(I think). Aloha!
