On Monday we went on a kayaking trip...one of my most favorite things we did. We went through a company called Maui Kayaks and they are awesome!!! Our guide pulled a shark out of the cave and it was swam about 15 feet past us. I wish we had a camera under the water. But there were huge sea turtles, an octapus, Gill (off "Finding Nemo") and so many other fish. Our guide would get a few things and let us touch them. We also saw a whale before we got in the water (too bad it wasn't while we were kayaking) and dolphins after we got out. We also saw one of Tiger Wood's homes. IT WAS AWESOME...above is me and my kayak--we bonded. I love snorkling here. I had a life jacket on and my feet couldn't touch so my flippers didn't freak me out quite as much (still a little freaky).
After kayaking we went to Big Beach (thanks Angie for the tip). This beach was beautiful and the weather was so nice. It was really the only sunny, sunny day we had while we were there. We laid on the beach reading (thanks Sterling for the recommendation on the book for Rob...he loved it) and then played in the waves. It was such a beautiful beach.
So we stayed at the Napili Kai (I have mentioned this) and I loved it. On Monday Night they had something called a Putting Party. It was really windy but they paired us up with other visitors so you could meet new people. Rob and I got paired up with Harold and Jack. Harold was Rob's partner and is 98 years old and has been at staying at the Napili Kai for the longest time. My partner was Jack and he was from Alaska. He was kind because the wind was really throwing off my putting skills. We won the worst player award...Free Drinks at the resturant at the resort.
Here we are before we go and get our drinks from the resturant. I got a virgin Pina Colada and Rob got a virgin Strawberry Dacari (sp).
We left Wednesday night (we had the red-eye from Oahu). So Wednesday morning we hiked and did some shopping.
