Finally around 4:40 in the afternoon, we touched down at Kahalui Airport on Maui. It was a direct flight and not too bad but still 7 hours plus. We grabbed our bags and headed straight to our rental car and then to Costco which is right near the airport. As soon as we walked in, we ran into our friend Francesca from Vail. They have a home here and Jag goes to school with her daughter and played basketball with her son. Their dad is a buddy of mine and the lead singer of Metallica and we’d been texting while he was in Europe about getting together this week so we knew they’d be here this week but had no idea we’d run into her at Costco! We’re going to a bbq at their house this afternoon. I’m sure their home is spectacular.
We arrived at our villa around 7. When we made it up to our room, it really wasn’t “ocean view” as we had booked, so Lori took matters into her own hands. Needless to say, they’re moving us today to a villa with a much better view. My how far she’s come, ha! We’re in a one bedroom as that’s all they had available but we might get upgraded to a two bedroom if one becomes available as I’m a Gold guy or something. They did give us all kind of perks when we arrived due to our status. The room is huge with the bathroom being almost as big as a bedroom itself. We bought an airbed at Costco for the boys so they didn’t have to use the sleeper sofa. We have a washer and dryer, and a large kitchen just like in any home.
It’s 5:30 in the morning now and the boys are sleeping so Lori and I will go to the gym and take a walk around the property. Jag did really well for flying so much in the last 3 days. I figured it out and he flew about 15,000 miles in 72 hours which is a little more than 60% of the way around the World. (24,000 divided by 15,000 for you math guys)
Today we’ll (at least Lori and I) run some errands and get packed to move rooms while the boys hit the pool or ocean. The boys do need haircuts today so we’ll see how the day goes. I’m sure we’ll get in some sun somewhere but we also have the bbq this evening. It’s like 80 degrees here which is a big change from snowy and cold Denver yesterday. I guess it’s even colder today. Time to get moving, have a great day, GB.
