It seems odd to wake and realize it is Christmas Day. There is another rainbow – a vibrant full semi-circle that sits on the horizon of the ocean. A breathtaking site. I think of my kids and grandkids and hope they are having a good Christmas.
I make breakfast this day, for a change—biscuits (canned, but still good), sausage gravy, sausage, scrambled eggs, and fresh papaya. It was quite good, if I do say so myself.
We go Snorkeling one last time at Kaanapali Beach/Black Rock. Saw lots of different fish and a couple young turtles. Mary and Peter try paddle boarding. It was crazy crowded.
That evening we drive the short distance to Dukes Restaurant, which is on the beach. We indulge by sharing another piece of Hula Pie per couple. The damn things are huge, but we have absolutely no problem cleaning our respective plates.
A rainbow a day. This one is coming right out of the ocean.
You can see the whole thing (my I-Pad didn’t quite capture each end and I was afraid to go get my camera because rainbows come and go so quickly).
It’s a gecko on the wall next to our table! Not an unusual site anywhere that is open to outside.
Dinner at Duke’s on the Beach – we can see the ocean from our table.
Our last morning – a Mauimosa for breakfast.
OMG – candied bacon! Because plain bacon is just not fattening enough.
At the airport. I forgot to show you my new suitcase. Got this from my son and daughter-in-law for Christmas. LOVE it!
Christmas in Hawaii was wonderful, but I did miss the family. Mary and Peter are good travel companions. They are easygoing and such a sweet couple – will definitely travel with them again if they are willing to put up with us!
Until our next adventure — Aloha A Hui Hou Kakou!
