Maui Getaway....Sort Of

As a reward for my achievements, our company decided to send us to Maui. Never having gone to vaca with work colleagues, I had no idea what to pack so I did the logical thing, I over packed, but in the end it was just right, because I had great outfits to choose from every night. As soon as we landed, we were off to dinner with the gang. Day 2, we went to the spa and relaxed. Day 3, we went on snorkeling excursion, which was a bit of a disappointment since we didn't see much fish. However, the food was great, fresh baked cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and shoyu chicken, salad, and rice for lunch. Day 4, we rented a car and drove to Lahaina. It was great to leave the resort to explore, where we grabbed a Hawaiian lunch and visited a museum. In between all of these activities, we hung out at the serenity pool, which was made quite unserene by my raucous work colleagues. It was a trip highlighted with highs and lows. We were exhausted by the end of it but both grateful for having each other to share this experience. I guess you can say we feel like we need to take a vacation from our vacation?

After driving an hour, Eddie spotted this great Hawaiian place right on the beach.

It felt peaceful in the temple.

Received another compliment on my ring!

Good-bye Maui! Our last day.
