Aloha

We are in Hawai'i. Maui to be more specific. Kihei to be even more specific. I'm here for an optometric conference, but we brought our oldest, Anneka and her 2 kidlets, Samantha and Corban. Our youngest daughter, Meg, joined us too.

We stayed in Kihei at a condo complex where we have gone 2 other times.  Location is great, price is right, close to the beach....  This time we got a two bedroom unit.  It was also within a couple of miles of my conference in Wailea.  Thanks to a great job with great benefits part of the trip was paid for.

Lots of time was spent on the beach.  We were right at Kamole I.  Samantha the 4 1/2 yr old loved playing in the sand and being covered in it.  Aunt Meg and Sam made quite a team.  They built sand castles, buried each other's legs, let the waves wash over them.  Thanks to Meg, Sam did a lot.  Grams, Gramps, or Mom couldn't get her in the water like her aunt could.
