Travels - Mar in Maui

Sunday - April 19, 2009
Yes, it is true. Mar is in Maui.
Brenda won a trip to Maui from her company - and she didn't want to go alone. So we made arrangements so Mar could go with her.
Yesterday, Mar drove over treacherous Wyoming highways just to get to Logan. That is the jumping off point of their journey. He mom went back with her through encounters with snow, sleat, hail, rain, ice, winds - oh and sunshine. It was a hard trip - but necessary. Because . . .
This morning she and Brenda drove to Salt Lake to board a plane for a 7 hour trip to Maui. They landed in Lahaina at a little after 2:30 and were picked up by a van to take them to their hotel. Yes, they did get a lei as they left the plane. They walked on the beach. They started a shell and stone and plant pod collection. They look out one window and see the beach. They look out another window and there was an old cemetary which they went and visited. It was a Japanese cemetary for workers in the pineapple fields. Yes - very old. They open their windows and hear the conch shells blowing at a funeral. They also hear the wild drums from a luau.
They are having a wonderful time. I expect them to come back exhausted.
Mar asked me to post some pictures of her hotel - the Hyatt Regency Lahaina. She says she is not roughing it.
