to 6206 and beyond!!!!

Is the weather very humid this time of the year but you are used to it living in Florida. We are not because our climate is not as humid. Do you need A/C on when you are in the condo? We were there once in September and it was too hot and humid for us so we were happy to have the A/C on but we prefer having our doors and windows wide open and feel the natural breeze and hear the waves.

Emmy,

This year has been hotter/more humid that we remember previous years. When the trade winds are blowing it is wonderful -- when they are not, it is stifling. We've found that we do not need the airconditioning except in the afternoon when the sun has moved from being behind and/or overhead and now beats down on the units.

I think that the Hyatt owners experience will be consistent with what you experience in 8210. No reason for it to be any different from what you feel now. (Note that the angled units in the Hyatt may experience an earlier need for temp control than 8210 requires).

This year has been lovely and we enjoy our time here so much. MOC is becoming my "family place" where every year I have different family here with me -- great memories of this place.

I hope that helps on the temp/humidity? I did a brief tour of the Hyatt facility and I do think the rooms are lovely. I think the Lanais are clearly superior (as they copy the Kauai Lagoons format) and the rooms are beautiful and well appointed. I think the 3BRs at MOC have a superior view as they look upon Lanai and Molokai versus the 3BRs at Hyatt which look south to Lahaina town. Still beautiful, but not as striking. From a data point perspective, the 3BRs at Hyatt are $130K/apiece in Phase 1 pricing. (!!!)

MOC still rocks -- love it here.

Best to all,

Greg

Thank you, Greg. Even in March, it gets warm in the living-room when the sun comes in through the window but it doesn't last too long but it was definitely much warmer outside in September and we didn't like it. It made us very tired but the ocean water felt much nicer than in March.

I know that you love the resort and taking family and friends with you is what makes timesharing so special because you have the room and certainly in a 3 BR condo! It's fun to do things together and the memories will never fade.

Enjoy the rest of your week as it goes by so quickly.

I did step off the size of the living area at Kauai Lagoons (the inside, not including the lanai living area, which is very big) and Kauai Lagoons (at its widest points) was 20 flip flops by 26 flip flops, however, half of the room is only 15 ffs X 26 ffs. So total square footage is 455 ffs. The 5 ffs of dead space in half the room we did not use (we put our discarded cardboard boxes there, so it did not increase the practical usage of the room.

MOC 6206 is the same 20 flip flops by 26 flip flops for the entire room, or 520 ffs, so it is a bit larger (internally) than the KL 3BR, especially when considering what is the useable space at KL. When you add in the lanai however, KL will be bigger, and the open wall door to the lanai really is terrific.

We are settled in now to 6206 and coming back to this place reminds me why I love it so much. This is a great property and spot.

Aloha,

Greg

All,

For the quantitative types, I stepped off the living area for the 2BR in MOC/LN, and it is 13 flip flops by 33 flip flops, or 430 square flip flops.

So in summary:

MOC Lahaina/Napili 3BR.....520 square ffs
Kauai Lagoons 3BR.............455 sq ffs
MOC Lahaina/Napili 2BR......430 sq ffs

Best,

Greg
