Aloha to all my family and friends, We just got back from a beautiful vacation on Maui to another snow storm. After wearing shorts and flip flops for the past 9 days
it is a real bummer. We had a wonderful time with our dear friends Kathy and John who
let us come with them to their time share in Maui that was on the beach. We watched the ocean and whales every morning we woke up. We went snorkeling with the beautiful fish and turtles. If anyone knows me they know I love turtles. I have 2 of my own. We
could hear the whales from the water we were snorkeling in if you held your breath. It was amazing. It was also amazing that I snorkeled in very deep water several times. We went on a boat that dropped us off to different snorkel places where we saw
tons of fish, turtles, spinner dolphins that really spin like barrels sideways,lots of whales. This one lady that was giving tours underwater to point out different things asked us if we wanted to see all kinds of sea life,when she asked if any one
wanted to see a shark is the time I turned around to find John and have him swim me back to the boat. He was just amazed that I would even do the snorkeling but since my
good friend Kathy was doing it, I didn't want to be a wimp. I will have to admit she
made me do things I would have never done if she wasn't there because I would have told John to go have a good time and I would sit on the beach or stay in the car.
We ate pineapple every morning.Delicious meals and shows at night, and yes the beautiful pool and hot tub under the palm trees and waterfalls in the evening. What a wonderful time we had. Ma halo John and Kathy which means thank you in Hawaiian
