As three of the biggest storms move towards California Karen and I decide to ride them out in Maui.

The view from the suite out into the court yard

  

The suite inside. It was as big as my first apartment

  

The bathroom and one of the three pools

  

Just a few other shots at the hotel. Now that's a burger!

Sailing and Snorkeling on Maui

The next day we did a little sail, whale watching, snorkeling, and diving with the turtles aboard the Shangrila (on right)

Nice catamaran with all the comforts.

 

They provided everything from gear to food and drink

  

Fish and turtles to swim with

  

And the whales... All in a days work. We like this adventure so much we did it again two days later.

Blue Hawaiian Helicopters Tours. Now that's the way to see the island.

We went for a spin around the island. Pictures don't do it justice that's why I got the DVD of the ride.

Back in one piece

  

The final farewell dinner. We had a  special treat for desert

  

Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo (Spyder) play an up close and personal acoustic set.
Not to mention we were in the front row.

It's hard to consolidate a week of fun in Maui into a short news segment, but I did my best

What a GREAT time..... Makes me wish summer were here now.
