Maui Countdown!
 
Seventeen days for me!

Anyone else headed to this pit of an island?

How long until you go?

Aloha ((H))

I am envious. Love Maui, but going to Kauai this time. My countdown is 28 days. Where are you staying on Maui?

iamq Mar 18th, 2009 04:46 PM

Hi Barbara,

We are staying the entire time at the Hotel Hana Maui. Love it and can't wait for my hot stone massages, the horse back riding, the hiking, and the incredible views at sunrise. Have yourself a great trip.

Traitor! Glad to see you are still a rich Kal-ifornian and can afford hot stone massges and horse back riding!

Hey, you guys wanna hear something????? On the day that I turned 56, I looked at my calendar and I only have 56 days left until we leave for Kauai!!!!

Barbara, have you been to Kauai before? If so, you know how wonderful it is....if not, you are gonna love it!

I was going to suggest the morning tea and scones at AKL but it looks like they discontinued it. But you still might enjoy this if you have never been. Enjoy

iceeu: Yes, I have been to Kauai a few times. The first time was about a year after Hurrican Iwa. Just googled Iwa to check the date...1983! OUCH!! I was VERY YOUNG!!

My favorite Kauai trip was when I stayed in a cottage in the verdant countryside above Kapaa. It was one of those special times when the weather was perfect, the seas were calm, the flowers were in bloom, and all the restaurants served great food.

We went to Kauai last year (April) and fell in love! It's a great place for R&R.

This year we are going to Maui (first time) and we leave on 04/04/09-so our count down is...19 days. We'll be there for 7 days and then back to Oahu for 3 days... Can't wait!

Oops-I knew they added that preview button for a reason... :)
My date is actually supposed to be 04/07/09...

iamq - I'm so jealous! I'm going back to Maui (last trip was 2006) Feb 2010. I can hardly wait. This trip will be different than any of my others because my daughter, s-i-l, and 2 grandkids are coming with. This trip will be focused more on the kids who will be 5 & 7 at that time. I always say that I live in Minneapolis, but my heart & soul live in Maui!
