Day 2 in Maui

Day 2 started with us racing down to the court at the Westin for BREAKFAST. Nothing like hot coffee and a buffet filled with FRESH FRUIT! Oh my! It was awesome. My favorite part almost! Then... we packed up the car and headed back all the way to the airport. Why? Well we were going to take a Helicopter Tour! We got lost along the way. Have I told you that Jennie gets upset easily in the car? She does. But we found our way back thanks to some of my firm guidance and direction on my part. We weighed in and joined two other couples. Our guide was a Hawaiian woman who had been piloting for 27 years! The helicopter rose up like magic, and away we were. This woman, Janelle, was amazing in how well she remembered all our names. Somewhere in the middle of this Jennie's camera batteries died and she had what we all call a "shit fit". She was NOT happy. Luckily I had my little camera, and I offered it to her (as she had the window seat) and she took some great pictures. Here is one of them!


The helicopter went up around the north side of Maui then over to Molokai and to the north side of Molokai which was just incredible! Then we came back, saw the blow hole, and we were back to the Heliport. An AWESOME ride. Then we went up to Paia, and had some great shopping an lunch. Britta used to have a shop up here years ago, but we couldn't find it, so if she's there, we missed her. Then we went to Costco, got shorts, shoes, flip flops, towels, fruit and ... a NEW CAMERA. I bought Jennie a cool Cannon. I should include a picture of it.

We raced home put the batteries on the charger and raced out to the Adults only pool where I took a swim, Jennie sunbathed, I got a strawberry smoothy (no alcohol) and it was so good! I went swimming, then we went back to the room, got ready for dinner at the Tropico. It was good, and Jennie got some photos with her new camera of the sun setting, and there was this guy who did music with a acoustic guitar who was good, but for the money we paid? I don't know if it was worth it. Then we came back to the hotel and like two slugs went sleep around 8:00....
