Royal Layaina Resort Ka'anapali

Today is Sunday and we came on the ship yesterday. We are really being lazy.
After boarding the ship we started wandering around the ship. We came upon a group of people just leaving a room and we jumped into the group to take the restaurant tour and we were glad we did. Later in the day we went aback ...

... augenblick kamen mir drei einheimische, triefend nass, entgegen und ich fragte sie ob dieses land ihnen gehöre. Der
älteste lachte und sagte nein aber wir können ungeniert auch im fluss baden gehen, da sei weit und breit niemand zu sehen. Es brauchte nicht viel überzeugungsarbeit und schon kletterten wir in unseren badeshorts und mit einem handtuch bewaffnet über den zaun. Hinter den bäumen sahen wir dann das paradisische naturbecken ...

... beach, which is located off of Highway 30 just north of Lahaina. The snorkling is amazing here - the best I've seen and the rock is fun to jump off of for the adventuresome person!

The evening was spent at the Marriott in Wailea for their Luau, Honua`ula, return to the secret islands. The show was fun, and I do think a Luau should be part of any itinerary for a ...

When we go to Napili Beach, we see this clown combing the beach looking for coins and jewelry with his supersonic metal detector......a real cheese eater.

So, I have taken it upon myself to mess with him. I take out all of my pennies and randomly throw them across the beach sand to keep him busy.

Never made it to temple for Yom Kippur but my mom shared with me what the rabbi's sermon was about at the temple she attended in Ft. Lauderdale. The topic of the sermon was, 'SEIZE THE MOMENT'. Wish I could have caught that speech cause that is BFD's philosophy and that is ...

Wir nutzen die Gelegenheit, ein ruhiges Zimmer ohne lautes Hostel-Drumherum endlich mal auszuschlafen. Vor allem ist Checkout erst um 11 Uhr, so dass man es echt sehr gemuetlich angehen lassen kann!

Gibt erstmal ein ordentliches Fruehstuck bei Cheeseburgers in Paradise mit lecker fetten Pancakes und Ahornsirup und wunderschoenem Blick auf das morgendliche Meer. Nach dem Checkout machen wir uns auf den Weg in den Ressort-Teil von Lahaina zum Strand von ...

Aloha Hawaii...endlich Ferien :-)

Bei unserer Anreise hatten wir die Moeglichkeit etwas zu erleben, was man wahrscheinlich, wenn ueberhaupt, nur einmal im Leben erlebt. Wir sind am 15.9.09 in Tokyo aufgestanden und um 18.45 Uhr mit dem Flugzeug Richtung Honolulu gestartet. Der Flug dauerte 7,5h und trotzdem sind wir am 15.9.09 um 07.15 Uhr gelandet. Wir hatten dank ...

... on this slow parade to ensure that the riders maintain proper pacing and intervals and obey all the rules. On every rental stable ride I have been on these escorts yell at me at least once for breaking one or more of their silly rules. So normally rental rides suck. Because of these recent experiences, when horse back riding in Maui was first proposed I was lukewarm to the idea. But an internet search revealed that there is a stable on Maui that actually let's ...

... food and of course the land is the best part. Sometimes when you see places it's hard to imagine that it's real, Honomanu Bay where we had some surf lessons. Beaches with black sand, crazy vegetation, everything is so full of color anywhere you go. Even if we decide to leave early, I know we would have done it all over again. Maui is an amazingly beautiful and unique place that we go visit again.
