Is anyone else planning to go to Maui in the next couple of months?

[controller1]

I had a great get together with THE wonderful @melissy123 this afternoon. She’s a super poster in the Sightings forum, and it was fun sharing timeshare notes with her. I was surprised we’ve been to and agreed about so many of the same resorts! My DH took a nap this afternoon so didn’t come with me, so he thinks I’ve gone a little too far with my imaginary TUG friends. “Really? You met one of them here in Maui, did you?”

Anyway, has anyone figured out a socially distanced meetup in the Westins this week? I’m talking to you, @DavidnRobin, @Negma, @califgal, @10spro, @pharmacistking, @controller1, @Jax44, @wannagotoo …

I'm available most days during the day with the possible exception of two days out of the 14 we're staying.

It was nice to meet the equally wonderful @PamMo and compare travel notes. We are in Maui until Friday and then we HAVE TO leave (really) for a friend‘s 50th anniversary party.

We are here for one more week. We have a Casabella tomorrow by the spa. Stop by say hi. We will probably be reading and doing absolutely nothing else. I will have a dodger hat on - giants never seem to lose this year-

Went to the gym today at the North property,
closed because of the new covid rules. A note directed you to the gym at south, limited hours, need appointment and need to show vax card when making appointment

Checked into Nanea this afternoon. Was told pool food/drink service was suspended effective today. Imu Pool Bar is open and I’m actually there now! Also told resort is at 80%. To give you an idea of how the Governor’s request to stay home has been received I was told the occupancy of the Ritz Carlton is 30% this week.

Pailolo a mess tonight. Offered about 5 different items. Claimed did not have a cook.

 

[Jax44]

We are at Cabana E at North right now until 6. Come on by.

Monk seals sleep like the dead, but it's completely normal.

Darn missed the seal. Pailolo had the very limited menu again for dinner. I asked why and the fellow said that all the hotels in the area are having delivery problems because of the new mandate that started Wednesday. I asked, "Oh, then it isn't the absence of a cook?" He said that they have that problem also. So dinner was a choice of 4 things, a chicken roll, nachos, and a few other things. I don't understand how the new rules for no indoor dining if not vaccinated can have such an impact on delivery/employees.

Cool might have been out with covid.

I work for a major food distributor on Maui and many places are keeping menus small because of being short staffed. Plus they are keeping things easy so they can keep delays to a minimum. Some places are doing better than others with all the issues. It's a really tough business and even more so right now.

We just checked in at the WKORVN and got a very nice star options villa in building 8 by the outriggers. We saw the large monk seal on the sand from our lanai yesterday and it was really cool to see it just relaxing. It was there well after sunset. VERY windy here today, but the resort seems to be not very busy.

We will be at Nanea Cabana K beginning 9:00 am Saturday. Come by, say hello, take a break and watch some college football on the TV. Cabana K is located by the adult plunge pool.

 

[amycurl]

I love that Cabana K is like TUG HQ on Maui. What a cool thing to offer, @controller1

 

[wannagotoo]

Refurbishment going on so Sept 22-Oct 2 south water slide refurbishment, Oct 2-12, Pirate ship refurbishment. "Slip" thanks for the update. The fellow at Pailolo said that all the hotels were having the same problem. But we didnt notice it here until a few days ago and thought it was due to the new guidelines that started Wednesday.

 

[controller1]

Fellow Maui TUGgers — Nanea Cabana K is OPEN. Come by and say hello. Stay awhile and watch some college football. Alabama/Florida starts in 15 minutes. We have a fridge stocked with drinks and the bar opens at 11 am.

AND I was just told poolside F&B service will be provided today! We’ll be here until 6 pm.

Cabana K is located back of property by the adult plunge pool. There are two cabanas in that location. We’re the one closest to the grills.

Spectrum cable has an outage at several resorts along Ka’anapali Beach. However don’t despair as we’re covered so come on over! Nanea Cabana K

We left yesterday after a lovely 2 weeks plus. Be aware if departing on afternoon flights. There is a 90 minute long demonstration at the Maui airport every afternoon where people with signs (will keep it non-political but basically saying you can’t tell me what to do) on their cars drive through and around the airport jamming up traffic and honking horns. Good thing DH likes to get to the airport early but even then it took him a long time to first drop me off with the bags and then go around and drop off the rental car.
Why the airport for Pete’s sake. The locals have a right to demonstrate and voice their opinions but they do have to do it somewhere where it inconveniences visitors the most. Or is that the point?

What a nice offer, @controller1 ! My BIL watched the Nebraska-Oklahoma game at some ungodly hour this morning, as a warm up to his Ohio State game. He's a HUGE fan and the TV went out in MM1 right before the game started! He doesn't want anyone to tell him the score so he can watch the entire game on his sports app later today. We're moving over to WKORV tomorrow.

We will have the same cabana next Saturday. I’ll be watching the LSU game at 6:00 am next Saturday before getting to the cabana around 9:00. I’m going to start a new thread mid-week to remind those TUGgers in the Ka’anapali area.
