R & R
There are 13 letters in the Hawaiian alphabet, hardly enough to describe how much we are enjoying our vacation. Right at this moment, Gerry is sitting beside me doing a Sudoku, Sam is on the other side, singing, playing race car and hanging out. Kristy is on the lanai taking in a little more sun and the boys, Max, Sol, Lee and Drew are all catching a cat nap.
We checked into the Marriott Waiohai on Sunday afternoon and are all enjoying this beautiful resort. Check it out at the Marriott site when you have a moment. Anyway, it is located right on Poipu Beach, ranked as one of the United State's top beaches. There is a lot of sand and grass, with beautiful cascading pools that cater to all ages.
Yesterday as soon as the sun was up Lee and Andrew were off to do some snorkeling and to scope out an area where it would be reasonable to spear fish. They were out about 1/4 to 1/2 mile and seemed to be out there a long time. After playing life guard for an hour, I went up to the apartment to check in. When I returned Lee was slowly snorkeling his way in but there was no sign of Andrew. Lee reported that Andrew had headed in earlier and wasn't sure what had happened to him. After searching for a few minutes, I made a hasty call up to the room and asked Gerry to find the binoculars and come right down. Within 4 minutes Kristy showed up with my camera and its telephoto lens as they couldn't spot the binoculars. What was I going to do, take pictures of the blue, vacant water. About the same time, I spoke with one of the pool attendants and told him we had lost sight of Drew.
TIME TO CALL OUT THE COAST GUARD the attendant said and the wheels were put in motion with people running hither and thither. Of course it was only about 5 minutes later that Andrew came sauntering down the beach, having been carried about 1/2 mile west to the neighboring Sheraton Hotel. Panic ended!!
Check out Kristy's Blog to see the boys snorkeling and the twins sampling the sand of Poipu Beach. The twins were not impressed with the ocean and pulled their legs up in time with the incoming surf.
We spent the day golfing, swimming, snorkeling, shopping and feasting.
Until later.....
