On Monday the 13th, I joined Chuck in LA following his trip to Vegas with Stewart. We checked in our flight to Maui and left the airport to meet up with uncle Jimmy and aunt Bernice for lunch. It was so great to catch up with them and for Chuck to see their house. We realized that he hadn’t visited since Lorraine’s wedding!!! They took us to their golf country club for lunch, and we had a great visit sharing all the news from the Murray’s next generation in Ontario.

After a long flight we landed in Maui and discovered that the Uber to our condo was double the cost of a cab! Uber is new in Maui.

Arrived at our airbandb late evening (which was 4Am for us) and accessed our unit without incident. Time for bed!!

The next morning on Tuesday, we decided to go go for breakfast at Fred’s nearby, check out the beach and go for a long walk before our lunch date with cousin Lorraine and John. Beach is beautiful with gorgeous sand and warmish water. The condo and malls lack local flavour to me. Seems fairly typical USA which is disappointing. Returned home and after fun time trying to figure out the shower, got ready for lunch at the 5 Palms restaurant. A wonderful welcome by our cousins with beautiful Lai. The view was spectacular and we had good Mai Tai and food. Had a very nice long chat after which they dropped us up at our condo for a quick visit.

Enjoyed a lazy afternoon followed by dinner at the Cafe O Lei. Excellent Ahi while Chuck had sushi. Good thing we were there early, the place was absolutely packed by 7PM!!

Off to bed early to be ready for our 2:30 wake up call tomorrow!!
