Snorkeling

This morning I went on a sailing and snorkeling adventure. The big rock in the middle of the above picture and to the left is Molokini Crater, and our snorkeling destination. The fish and coral were amazing.

After Molokini Crater, we took our catamaran, the Kai Kanani to another area where sea turtles are known to be prevalent. I didn't see any snorkeling, but did see some from the boat. In addition to our snorkeling stops, we ate breakfast and lunch on the boat, drank Mai Tais, and lounged in the sun.


Here's the crew lounging. Just to see what it felt like, I did pull a Mesnick on one of the railings.

After spending a little more time at my Maui residence, I've decided that it can best be described as a retirement hostel. The decor all says a couple generations before me, but the common area has a shared computer and a shelf full of Frommer's, Lonely Planet, and Fodor's guidebooks. I think the target clientele are people in their 20's who want to feel like they're staying at their grandma's condo. I had no idea that market even existed.  Some of the highlights include:

Nuggets of wisdom, found hung on the wall, on magnets on the fridge, and cross-stitched on pillows. This is one of my favorite examples.


The outside has an eclectic and awesome array of patio furniture.















Every lamp has a different colored lei draped on it.





A stylish yet convenient beaded curtain with a delightful tropical scene provides oh so much privacy for the bedroom. If you can't tell, the couch and chair are sporting a fish pattern.



Here's the awesome green and pink fish pillow adorning the bed.

It has been an absolutely lovely place to stay.
