Are we the only three who will be on Maui the end of January? Hard to believe! :whoopie: Looks like we will have to have TWO DOs.

Sandy, how about Jan. 23rd or 24th at a restaurant in Whaler's Village area?

marlee73, how about same location on Jan. 28th? Or, Kihei area Jan. 29th>Feb. 3rd? We're flexible.

:cool: The 28th may be good. I will get back to you when I get my other weeks booked. My brother and his wife are coming to. This is a retirement trip for all of us.
? Are you able to snorkel in Maui in Jan.

Phil, either date sounds great and Whaler's Village - perfect! We can get more specific as the date gets closer. I still do not have airline reservations or second week reserved.

Maybe I'll finally be able to meet a real live Tugger in person, just to prove they DO exist! :)

Bay Club on the Big Island with the family 11/19-27, and Ko'olina with my teen daughter 12/17-12/24. Twice in one month; how decadent is that?

We're down here at Sea Moutnain resort right by the Black Sand Beach if you are down this way, like Friday?

we'll drive up to Kona for Thanksgiving with my brother and family.

Can we get a summary of any planned meetings in Hawaii? We're especially interested in

1. Kona Dec. 31-Jan. 6 (Kona Coast)
and
2. Kauai Jan. 6-13. (Point at Poipu)

Let me know who will be at either....

Looks like Calyn and jackandsara will overlap with us on Kauai and
Rancher will overlap with us on Kona.

Aloha,
We'll be at Kauai Beach Villas for three weeks 12/24/11 - 1/14/2012. We're still not sure which dates if any our daughters will join us.
Jack

We're just down the road at Pono Kai from 1226-1/5. Let me know if you want to meet.

Yup - that's us, and loving every moment of it. You simply can't have a bad day in paradise. During our 1st 3 wks here the weather has been great - yesterday we experienced our 1st real rain showers (except those at night) as we migrated to the north shore for a week at the Cliffs Club, but the sun returned today here. On the way up we met up with Tuggers 'sailingman' at the Pono Kai who also hail from B.C. and had a good chat. Back to the Lawai Beach next week.

cheers and good travels to all heading this way this winter
PM me is you'd like to meet up. :whoopie:

Phil, we do not get into Maui till 5:15 I am not sure we can get rental car and checked in and back to meet you till 8:30. Is that to late? We are only coming from Kauai so no jet lag to deal with. If not what other night is good for you. Sunday? Are you guys anywhere close to us? We are at Kaannapoli Beach Resort.

Never thought I could be so jealous of so many people at the same time. Alas, I will wait until September, 2012 when I'll be spending almost 4 weeks on Oahu, BI and Maui.

Have fun this winter, everyone.

Walt & Sue

If there was a like button, I would have to press it on this quote. We just got back from almost 2 weeks on Oahu & Maui. Already planning my 2013 trip to Oahu & Kauai :cheer: Moste likely sometime April/May 2013

At LBR on Kauai through the 27th

Call us at the resort in room 2304 if you are nearby or leave a reply here. We may be here, or in the ocean, or on the golf course, or up in Hanalei. Who knows where we'll be? :)

We're alway in for a beverage. We will be in phase I and the couple we are travelling with are in II. We''l try to remember to PM when we arrive.
3 more sleeps!:cheer:

We'll be on the Big Island as well -- Kona Coast Resort II from Feb 12-22, 2012. Would love to meet up for a beverage sometime. If you're game, let's exchange unit numbers once we get there via PM.

ChrisandBeth: We've been to the Big Island several times so don't hesitate to drop me an email if you have questions. This may be your first visit, but if you're anything like us, it won't be your last!

Thought it might be fun to see who is going to be in HI this winter so maybe a few get-togethers could be arranged. I'll start:

Maui 1/22>2/5 (Maui Schooner & then Kahana Falls)

B.I. 2/5>2/18 (Wyndham KHR and then HGVC at Waikoloa)

Phil & Sue

how was your experience at the schooner?

are they doing any remodeling yet?

mahalo, sterling
