Wednesday Update

Hi all,

Sorry I did not write yesterday but I was so tired after dinner and shopping that I just went to bed.

Yesterday we had to get up early since Lynn and Jake had to be to Upcountry by 8:30 am for their 9 am Zipline. I wasn't sure about traffic and it turned out we got diverted due to construction, but got them there early enough that Lisa and I could watch the first group go. Wow there is no way I would have done that!!!!!

Lisa and I left to drive to the other side of Upcountry to go to the winery. http://www.mauiwine.com/ I really liked all the pineapple wines, not so much the Merlot. The drive was beautiful and at one point we could see both sides of the island!!!! I also took Lisa to the Church of the Holy Ghost which is a Portuguese church on the island http://www.kulacatholiccommunity.org/

Then we had to go back and get Lynn and Jake. Well they were still alive and Lynn was standing, but barely!!! She barely made it up the fourth tower in the wind since it was blowing so badly. We drove down the back side of the island so we could head to the windsurfing beach near Paia called Hookipa State Beach Park. Jake was a little impressed with the waves :)

We then headed to lunch before going back to the condo. We swam in the ocean and then the pool. After our swim and hot tubbing we got ready for dinner. We went into Lahina town and walked around shopping before eating at Moose McGillicuddy's http://www.mooserestaurantgroup.com/ It was good and we ate on a balcony overlooking Front Street which was cool. We then headed back home for sleep!!!!

Today (Wednesday) we were up early again since Jake had surfing lessons at 8 am and had to be there at 7:30 am. Lynn and I hung out on the beach in Lahina while he surfed. After surfing we came back to the condo and went down to the Ocean. While Lynn and Jake snorkeled, I swam. I headed to the pool and was going to relax in the hot tub, when a small child (at least I hope it was a small child) had an accident in the pool. They closed the pool and as of this writing it is still not open.

Then we went to lunch and after lunch I ran out to send a birthday present to my cousin (Hi Kelsey) and now we are getting ready to head to the luau.

Next post will have some pictures.
