We started this trip at 10 PM Thursday evening. We drove to the airport in San Diego. Our original plans were to drive to San Diego and spend the night on John and Montyne's boat before flying to Maui early Friday morning. Those plans changed but the flight didn't. Our route was south on I-15. I slept part of the way. We stopped in Escondido hoping to buy gas and eat, but nothing was open. Gerri spotted a Denny's when we came into San Diego. We had a good meal punctuated by some kind of altercation between other patrons. After gassing up and eating we continued on to the airport, arriving about 5 AM.

The flight was pretty smooth and we all napped a little. Neva read her Kindle and Gerri and I worked Sudoku Puzzles. When we arrived in Maui the sky was overcast and it was windy. Since the resort was 30 miles from the airport Gerri had arranged a shuttle to take us there. When we arrived at the Ka'anapali Beach Club our room was ready so we met with concierge representative and we arranged a tour of the road to Hana. Of course we have to attend a 90 minute presentation to get the discount.

View from our room.

We waited for our room at the resort restaurant as it was too cool to go out and look at the ocean. The soup special of the day was Portuguese Sausage, so we all ordered a bowl which was very good and filling. Shortly after that our room was ready. We are on the second floor with a mountain view, needless to say, no ocean to view from our room. Gerri then made reservations for our Thanksgiving dinner Thursday which will include a Hawaiian show along with the buffet.

For dinner we weren't that hungry so Gerri called and ordered a pizza from the pizza kitchen. No delivery so I was elected to go get it. We were all very tired, no game playing tonight, maybe tomorrow. Mike Bunker, former co-worker, found out we were on Maui and called. We plan on getting together. He and his family have been here almost 2 weeks.
Very little sleep, everyone has headed to bed so I'm following.
