"Maui.....Sept. 20, 2011"

Up early! We decided today we wanted a beach day. And snorkel.

Found our spot and rented our gear. (oh, and snacks and a book for later)

We were out snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean by 9:00 am.

I was a little nervous at first. I don't like my nose being sucked to my face and thinking I can breathe! It took a little getting used to. And the water wasn't quite bath-water warm at 9:00 am. So I eased my way in. And once I got it...........it was amazing............peaceful......

Swimming in the ocean with my husband. It was so quiet and (semi) calm (kinda windy). We looked at fish and held hands.........I felt very safe and at ease by that point. Very good bonding moment with my husband.........

We survived and were starving so we layed around for awhile and then went to lunch.

We went into Lahaina and checked out Banyan Tree Park.

Walked down on the waterfront.

Neat open air bars.

Shinannaghans.......

And found our favorite place to eat! Aloha Mixed Plate. Great food. Great view. The locals go there and it's inexpensive. We went back more than once. Chow funn noodles were amazing. Deep fried carmel banana cheesecake was amazing. Local food was amazing.

Wish we would have found it earlier in the week.

Made it back to our place for sunset. And a movie by the pool.

A glass of wine...........and night, night.

"Maui....Sept. 21, 2011"

Happy 20th anniversary love!!!!!!!!!!!!! 20 years flew by! And we were so happy to celebrate in Maui. (today is our actual anniversary)

And all I wanted to do was go on a boat. So we found a dinner cruise. I was so excited! That is how I wanted to celebrate.

And all day I didn't feel so great. May have been a little off with my equilibrium because of snorkeling? Motion sickness from all the car travel? Who knows?! But I was really queasy on our cruise........

Such a bummer because it was a beautiful night. I didn't even eat! LeRoy said the food was good. And the dessert. And the drinks............I had ginger-ale for dinner..........I usually don't get queasy on a boat (I love boats) but I started out that way.........such a bummer...........we sat next to a nice older couple who I pretended to listen to cause I wasn't feelin' so hot!!!!!!!!

I was happy when the sun set so I could get off that boat!

Happy Anniversary!

"Maui..Sept. 22, 2011"

Our last full day here............
We slept in until 6:30 a.m. this morning! And it was raining when we got up and not a sole was on the beach. Rain was getting us ready to come home.

We layed around and read magazines and had coffee and made fresh smoothies.

Ate one last time at our favorite place "Aloha Mixed Plate."

Layed by the pool.......

Said hi to my sis!

Bye, bye Maui............

Walked on the beach to see our final Maui sunset......

To a great 20 years and counting.................. Thanks love...............

"Maui Faves and Vintage"

I ended up using LeRoy's smartphone for most of our pictures on our trip. I had time to kill at the airport coming home so I made some adjustments to some of my pics (or were to dark and shadowy and could be altered) and they look so cool. Some very vintage looking. Amazing what technology and a little bit of time can do! Left my regular camera in the condo the entire week and used his phone! These are some that look really cool.
