This was the pool and the front of the Grand Wailea Resort in Maui that my wife and I stayed in back in May of 2008.

An interesting place. I shot about ten photos there; I selected these three to provide three different perspectives.

Tom, new this year at both Barony and SurfWatch, the resorts are renting similar chairs just inside the properties at the boardwalks. I didn't stop and ask what has changed with the town/lifeguard arrangement that the resorts can now offer beach rentals (I thought there was a prohibition because town rentals cover the lifeguard salaries?), but maybe Grande Ocean will have the same for you. I think but I'm not certain that the rate was $10/day.

Either way, the set-up looks so inviting, doesn't it? I love to watch the lifeguards running around every morning to get the beach ready.

Steve,

You've done a lot of Hawaii trips. I'm curious as if you ever seen Charles Lindburg's grave on Maui. It's near a picture perfect church on a plain site overlooking the ocean from tall cliffs. My photos are from my film days and I'll have to do some digging to find those. But your photo of the Caribe cemetary brings that to mind.

SueDon, that's a dramatic storm picture. Great capture and nice to hear that it doesn't ruin your day.

Thanks for that info, Susan.... As I said... can't wait. We started packing yesterday and we have two weeks yet!

Drove past it once and were unable to find it. When we're back to Maui and do the drive past Hana we'll make another attempt.

I have - the turn off is by a sign for a horse ranch and you go to the end of the road and there is a little church with a cemetery. The Palapala Ho'omau Church is located 8 miles south of Hana on the ocean side of the highway. A small road 1/10 mile past Mile Marker #41 leads to the church. It's a tiny little road and easy to miss.

Here is a picture of the turn-off:

Steve,

Fantastic pictures of Grand Cayman! Did you just return from Morritts recently? We have an exchange for next June. Seeing these pictures makes me want to be there NOW...

We were there about four weeks ago for our son's wedding. I'm slowly working through the pictures.

I finally have a web hosting location that I can link here so thought I'd join your party at long last.
