Aloha All Ovah da Place







A magical week in Paradise. That's pretty much what it was like at the end of August when me, momma Sylvia and sister Lucy escaped to Maui to hang with Angie and her fella and get to know her new family. That would be her Insta-Family, three lively blond tykes Nini, 3, Paytn, 5 and Shea, 7 years old and all little fishes at heart. We all three braved the waters to go snorkeling and it was wild out there. Lucie saw her turtle and Sylvia was right in there with us every step of the way. We saw bunches of different fish, those amazing boisterous colored fish in the reef. We saw the dancin hula girls and boys. We went to Hana and stayed at a very nice place for a day with the whole passel of us. While we were in Kihei we stayed at the uber-fancy Grand Wailea, which I couldn't even imagine. I had this quaint thought that I would hate the excess, the manufactured luxury of staying in the king of Maui's resort hotels but it was pretty asem. Meaning awesome.
