We finally got moving about noon today. Rhonda came over for a cup of coffee and to visit this morning. After a quick bite of lunch we decided to drive north along the winding road in seach if a few geocaches. Found 3 today!
Got backaround 5 PM and had another quick dinner of cheese, bread and grapes before heading back to ttry and capture a sunset. Started to rain as we headed back yo the windy road. Not a beautiful aunset tonight. Still have more time to get one.
Back to Aunt Janets for red wine and dessert aand more conversation. To bed at 10 PM. All in all, a very nice day.
Up since 5 AM local time. Heard the rooster crowing again this morning!
We did stop at the local Safeway on our way back from Lahaina yesterday afternoon…. but not before trying to find a third cache for the day. After a couple of failed attempts due to muggles we finally had success at the small sugar cane railroad exhibit located at the last remaing smokestack from the sugar cane industry. A magnetic keybox on one of the small steam locomotives.
At the Safeway we picked up some fresh fruit, bread, cheese and wine. Arriving back aat Aunt Janet’s we had lots more catching up to do. Joyce’s cousin Rhonda stopped by around 6 and we had lots of good conversation while we enjoyed the results from the Safeway stop.
To bed about 10 PM last night. Now we have to see what is in store for today!
The 6 hour time difference messed up our sleep last night. Awake several times after retiring about 8:30 PM. Finally did some email and logging geocaches at 4 AM. Back to sleep for a while. Finally “up” around 7:30.
We visited with Aunt Janet for most of the morning while having coffee and breakfast. After quick showers (enhanced by small hot water tank) we decided to take a short ride to get a geocache, scout Lahaina and get some lunch. After checking out a few places menus, we opted for a burger at the Lahaina Fish Co. Watched out to the water from their deck.
Next stop the grocery store for meals the next few days.
After the 3 hour delay and 7-1/2 hours in the air we finally arrived on Maui around 5:30 PM local time. That would be 11:30 PM Eastern. Atopped to do 1 geocache on the way to Aunt Janets. We visited until about 8:30 and then decided it was bedtime having been up since 4 AM ET. Something like 22 hours! Maybe we’ll sleep late in the morning….
Up at 4 AM this morning to catch the shuttle to the Philly airport. Quick ride and easy check in. Passed without trouble through Security. On time departure and early arrival in Dallas.
Originally supposed to depart at 10:50 AM local time. Due to a maintenance problem they took the plan we were supposed to board out of service. They had to find another plane–one inbound from Frankfurt
