Sweet Escape

My handsome husband and I escaped to Wailea, Maui, on March 27th for 6 nights. After an unexpected delay in San Francisco (the pilots refused to fly aircraft due to it's unacceptable condition, whatever that means) and waiting patiently for 3 hours for a new plane and 5 hour flight, we made it to the gorgeous island of Maui. This year we stayed in Wailea instead of Ka'anapali and loved it! The hotels were at 30% capacity, no rain, no kids, yummy food, great friends, comfy bed, shaved ice, Lava Flows by the Serenity pool, beautiful flowers, morning walks, Hula Girl excursions, snorkeling with dolphins . . . I could go on and on. If you haven't been to Maui, save your money and head over there! It's truly paradise. I can't wait to go back!


Hanging out by the pool (ah, literally hangin' out). Talking to the kids. They missed us! Ok, we missed them, too.

Oceanview rooms, beautiful greenery, not a soul in sight!

Golfing at The Planation in Kapalua.

Sunday night BBQ on the beach and watching the sunset.


Good friends. I love Alison. She is a beautiful, kind, PATIENT, humble, and giving person. This beach was down the road from the Marriott where we stayed. Clint Eastwood's home is the first house on the left. Tiger Woods owns a home a few doors down.

I love flowers. The red flowers belong to the ginger family. I took a trillion pictures in front of the flowers!

A cute wedding chapel on the beach.

Outside our hotel room. A strange man asked to take pictures of us. My hair was not cooperating so I'm not too excited about the pictures, but the guy is hot! And the view is breathtaking!

The Marriott has the coolest pool! It looks like it flows into the ocean.


Another shot of the Serenity pool -- adults only! It was so quiet. You can see the floating cabana and palm trees that blend in with the ocean. There's actually a rocky, lava beach below the pool.

Man I want to go to Hawaii. And thanks! My next one is in September in Spanish Fork. Ha you're my inspiration! I'm like "If Rebecca can do a whole marathon - then I can do half!"
Anyways - thanks so much for all the tips - it really helps a rookie like me.
