I'm back! I'm back! I'm back!! I haven't slept more than 2 hours in the last 24 due to all-night flights, screaming babies, hard airline seats, a nasty sunburn on my nose and a snoring hubby that had NO trouble sleeping on the plane...but I'M HOME!! Maui was wonderful, but we're glad to be back.
I left last Saturday just praying that the boards would be up when I returned, but what in the world have you people done?? ;) I still don't know exactly how to read these things or what to click and when to click it, but hopefully I'll learn quickly.
Thanks to everyone who said they're 'Parasail Prayer' for me on Tuesday. We did it!! :eek: The boat captain let DH and I go up together even though we were a bit past the weight limit, and I'm SO glad he did. I would have lost it by myself, I'm sure of it. They let us out 800 feet and kept us in the air for 10 minutes. DH took photos (with disposable camera just in case!) while we were in the air, and we just got them back this afternoon. I'm glad there are photos, because I don't remember a whole lot of the view! I was too busy chanting every prayer I could think of and promising to work with needy children if He would just let me land safely!!
Our condo was wonderful, the weather sunny and 85-88 most of the time, the food terrific! We spent hours out on the lenai (balcony) of the condo just gazing out at the Pacific. We drove around the entire island one day (10 hour drive!) and then the next day took a 5 hour Snorkel and Snuba trip. All in all, we beached, relaxed, shopped, ate WAY too much, and generally had a ball. The only setback was Tuesday afternoon when my dear hubby told me he didn't WANT me to put sunscreen on him because he wanted 'a little color'. A half hour later I sprayed sunscreen on him anyway against his will. Tuesday night he was begging me to spray him with Solarcain! Severe burns all over his body. I got nailed on my nose, and I'm peeling like a banana right now, but I'll live! We kept him covered the rest of the trip, and he's better now, but it was scary for a day or two! Anyway, if anyone wants a recommendation of a condo on Maui, let me know! The place was comfortable and centrally located just north of Kaanapali and it was only $79 per night.
Glad to be home!! I missed you all! :D
