Wow, it’s always busier at work just before vacation but it’s been crazy. I only work a half a day on Friday so we’re just about there. My wife has Friday off and so do our friends that are going to Maui with us. When I get out of work on Friday we’ll head to Madison to our park and fly hotel. We leave Saturday morning at 9.
We have been busy at home too getting things ready for the trip. We had problems getting our dog into the groomer but they had a cancellation so she is all clean and ready to go. A friend of mine at work watches her while we’re gone. I give her RCI exchanges and she has gone to a lot of great places with her friends, so she is happy. She got a two bedroom in Banff, Canada for this June so she’s real happy. She’s gotten really good at watching RCI.
We have a couple kids in the neighborhood that come over and take care of the cat. They are going to Kauai in April.
My wife is finally retiring her Large Hawaii themed piece of luggage. It’s going to make one more trip though. She is filling it up with things for the condo and when we get there it’s going in the dumpster. The new one arrived yesterday and she started packing today. I started packing today also so I don’t have to rush on Friday.
I’ve been busy with the condo too. We bought some items and had them shipped them to my property manager. We had a new tv installed and I was dealing with cable and internet over the phone. I did upgrades to both of those and that has helped with renting. It’s already rented more than I had hoped it would rent in a full year so that surprised me. When my wife retires in about three years we may forgo the rentals but we’ll see.
Right now we have a few places picked out to eat and we will be showing our friends around Maui. They are doing a road to Hana tour on the Wednesday we are there. I have a few friends that I have made through my condo search and some rentals that I have to stop and have a drink with. Then a friend I work with will be on Maui the same week so we are meeting them somewhere in Ka’anapali.
It’s our first time staying at a two bedroom at the Maui Schooner. My wife will make a video of that because we will rent that out some years.
We’ll be busy but we’ll leave some open time to relax. Molokai will be all time for my wife to go through the condo and decide what she wants to do. Plus explore more of the island.
I’ll use this thread to post my corny videos and pictures if you want to follow along. Sounds like we may even meet another Tugger on this trip.
It’s been five years since we have been on Maui so there’s a lot of new things to see and do. Below is the view from the Maui Schooner the last time we were there.
And here’s the view from our Molokai Condo.
