I'm Baaaack!



Hey, I'm back home in sunny So Cal after a week in Maui. Everyone had a great time frolicking in the pool & beach and getting lots of rest. We stayed at the Embassy Vacation Resort in Kaanapali where our suite was massive with a lanai (balcony) that wrapped around the living room and bedroom. When I originally booked the room, I thought I booked the basic scenic view room but somehow I booked the deluxe ocean view room instead. Wow, what a nice surprise that was!! We had a 12th floor (the top) corner suite looking out toward the ocean and around the corner we could also see the mountains. The pool is very large with a volleyball net. There is also a water slide that ends at the kiddy pool with various little spots where the waterfalls come down. The weather was warm (not muggy) with light rain here & there and some gusty breezes. We didn't have any agenda except to relax and have fun. We'd wake up and head downstairs for the breakfast buffet which was a pretty good and lots of choices. Afterwards, we'd relax in our room playing video games until we heaad to the pool for an hour or so. Then we drove around looking for a good spot for lunch and Joshua would usually crash for his nap. I would somtimes take a nap too while Hector & Tyler played mini golf or video games. Then downstairs for the manager's cocktail reception for mai tais and snacks ( a mix of Doritos, Cheetos and pretzels) after which we'd head to the beach in front of the hotel to watch the sunset. We'd then have to figure out what we wanted for dinner ...then relax in our room. That was our routine (more or less) for the whole week. We did check out other things like Lahaina, Kapalua bay, the Sugar Cane train and Maui Ocean center. More details later!!
