Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but no sooner did I power up my Dell laptop to post about how quiet and peaceful today has been did a group of three whales start leading a parade of boats straight across the entire view from our lanai. I’m starting to feel like a whale paparazzi.
Wow, sorry, I had to stop yet again. Between my camera with the telephoto lens, my video camera and my binoculars, I might as well grow two more pairs of arms. Really, we thought this was the end of whale watching season. I’ll have to go back to the wifi spot and upload this latest video I just shot to YouTube. Amazing.
Back to the plans that we didn’t have for today. I woke up around 6am just because I couldn’t sleep any more, and started going over some of the photos and video so far. Cindy woke up around 9am, at which point we turned on the TV and watched a little playoff hockey on NBC. It was only the last half of the third period, and Philadelphia couldn’t overcome a Washington lead, so they’re going to a game six in Philly. Tomorrow morning is Nashville and Detroit I believe, 3pm ET start, 9am HST. I love watching hockey in Hawaii.
Cindy and I walked down to the Westin this morning so she could book her spa day for Monday. She’s getting a full 50 minute massage this year, so I think I’ll have to carry her back after that one. Next it was on to lunch, where we just drove a little north of Ka’anapali and grabbed sandwiches from Subway. There were no tables left to eat, so we kept driving north looking for a beach park with picnic tables. We found Pohaku Park just near Kahana and had a windy bite there. After holding on to our napkins, we stayed and watch one lonely whale swim on by and about 4 turtles in the area.
Coming back to our room to figure out dinner before tonight’s Hapa concert at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. Cindy went out down by the pool to read and missed the view I had of the whales (described at the top of the post). She said she had a nice view from the beach, but she’s looking at the video now and I’m sure she’ll see my view was better.
We’ll, getting ready to head out to Kahului in a little bit to go see the Hapa concert. What a day!!!
