Almost time to say Aloha

Where does the time go?

It Friday morning and our last day here on the wonderful island of Maui. Even though this was our third trip to the Valley Isle, we still had so many new experiences and memories this time that were so special. I will be working on a top 10 list from this trip during our travel back home and post it over the weekend.

We have a red-eye flight tonight, so technically we still have all day, so it's not that bad.

Yesterday was pretty nice, although going home started to sink in for a few of us. We tried to do a little shopping in Lahaina, but like I posted yesterday, the cruise ship was in port and things were a little crowded. When we came back to the resort, Cindy and I walked over to Whalers and came back with these lovely white and yellow gold rings from Na Hoku, matching bands actually. I'll post a photo over the weekend of the rings as well.

With the vog and the lack of trade winds the last day or two, it's been hazing around the area. Last night's sunset wasn't very much of anything because of all the clouds, and while I was sitting out on the lanai late last night, you could barely see the boats out in the water or the lights from Molokai or Lanai. In fact, it looks like there were giant yellow fog lights out on the beach in front of the Westin that I hadn't seen before. Probably not a bad idea to have, though.

We pack pretty much everything last night, so we're just making our way down to breakfast and then checking out at noon. We don't have much else planned for today, just slowly making our way towards Kahului and stopping at a few last shops and maybe a bite to eat. Not a very spectacular way to end just a wonderful vacation, but then again, we don't really like to give going home too much attention.

Mahalo and Aloha Maui!!!
