Our Trip to Maui-Part 7

SUNDAY MEMORIES

Judy Wills

We decided that our last day in Maui would be an easy one, since we had been “on the go” the rest of the time.  So we drove up the coastline to Kapalua.  Kapalua is a rather expensive “plantation” resort, and home to the PGA tour’s, the Hyundai Tournament of Champions every year.  If you are into golf – that’s the course to play, and the tournament to watch. 

The drive up the coastline was breathtaking.  We stopped quite a few times, just to get some pictures.  Fred found some catamarans in a little bay, that was literally “picture perfect.”

We found what we think are some coral beds.

We saw swimmers on the beach as well as in the water.

Blue, blue water.  Really gorgeous.

We drove down to Lahaina again, and had lunch at the Aloha Mixed Plate again.

The remainder of the day was spent just resting and packing for our return flight to the mainland the next day.  And then we just spent time visiting with Fred’s Dad.  It was a quiet and very precious time for us.  

We decided to have one last meal of that delicious Ono fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.  

The next day, on our way to the airport, we stopped and took a picture of the island of Molokai – the only one we have without clouds covering the top of the island.  Lovely!

We had a short hop from Maui to Honolulu, and then from there to Seattle.  We were late arriving, so we stayed the night in a hotel before driving the next day back to Shelton.

Our Maui trip was over – so fast!  We are just so grateful that God allowed us to have this wonderful vacation time – and time with Dad, and for him to rest.  

And then, home sweet home – our bed felt soooooo good that night!
