Maui Sunset
I was surprised after we went through US customs in Vancouver to find that it was exactly a year ago today that we last went to Hawaii. I guess WestJet must always run cheap flights to Hawaii at this time of year. This year of course we came to Maui, instead of the Big Island where we have been the last two years.
The plane was not crowded. In fact, we had three seats between the two of us, which meant that Enid got a good sleep in the plane on the way over. We were however delayed leaving Vancouver. They announced that someone could not get clearance through customs, so we had to wait while they found and removed their luggage. Because of that we were about an hour late landing on Maui.
We got a bigger car than I’d expected, a new Dodge Charger, jet black, not the greatest color for the heat of Hawaii. I guess the rental company would rather rent it to me than some young male driver! We stopped at the first restaurant we saw and split a Hawaiian plate lunch of teriyaki chicken between Enid and I. Both of us were very hungry, as it was now about 7:30 pm Vancouver time.
After stopping in Lahaina to get groceries we reached our condo just before sunset. We watched the sun go down from our lanai, so it is a very nice view. We are just about 25 m from the ocean. After sunset we walked along the beach, a nice sandy beach which starts just north of our condo. Tomorrow we plan to swim there.
