We arrived in Maui without a hitch. With little fanfair, we got our car and found the nearest restaurant to have a late lunch. It was a place called Da Kitchen. Every item was huge and most included both rice and a delicious macaroni/potato salad. There was light rain and, is often the case, a rainbow to go with it. As we drove toward our condo on the Kaanapali coast, the rainbow got more vibrant and spanned across into a full semi circle.
The condo complex – Papakea – is quite old, but the grounds are gorgeous and we have a bit of ocean view from our lanai. The building our condo is in is the third building – the Koa Building- and we are in Unit K105.
We settled in and then all 4 of us walked to the very close Times Market to buy some staples. We got back, all headed to the front door, but Peter was having difficulty getting his key to work. Mary tried it a couple times and Michael was offering suggestions (as he originally unlocked it when we arrived), but to no avail. Then suddenly Michael says, “Let’s try the next building over!” That is when we all realized we had stopped one building short and we were trying to get into J105!!! Thank goodness no one was in the condo – we had made such a fuss at the door! As we wondered across the lawn to the next building, we were all laughing and feeling quite silly.
All of us were tired from the journey—the day of travel can be draining and none of us are spring chickens, so after relaxing for a bit on the lanai, we went to bed early. Maui is 2 hours earlier than California, so Michael and I are awake and up at 4 am on Day 2 as I write this blog.
