We arived in Maui on Sunday afternoon. While we were waiting in Dallas for our flight I checked my voice mail and found a message from the Elders Quorum Presidency asking me call my home teaching families to tell them that Church was cancelled do to heavy snow. Wow, am I glad to be out of winter for a few days.

When we arrived in Maui, we deplaned in the usual way via jet bridge and proceeded through the terminal to baggage claim. Upon arrival at baggage claim we realized the we were really in the tropics because there were no windows or doors. You could feel the warm breeze, see palm tree swaying in the breeze and hear the birds just outside.

We arrived at the Avis counter only to find out that we did not have a reservation. I had booked my reservation through a online discount company. After an hour of frustration, we found that I had a reservation on a different island. Finally, with the help of a good Avis agent, we were in our car and heading to the Kahana Beach Vacation Club in Kaanapala, Maui.

There is a photo looking down at the beach from our balcony.

More updates to come.

Fun in the sun.

Because of the impending snow storm forecast for northern Michigan, we drove from Traverse City to Grand Rapids Saturday night. We were able to get the last two seats on the Grand Rapids to Dallas flight Sunday morning and are now waiting in Dallas for our flight to Maui. We will be updating our blog daily with photos of our trip. Please stay tuned!

Hi everyone:

Guess what? I just found my user name and password, so we will be able to update our blog again.

Keep watching. Doris and I are taking our first April vacation ever. We are not sure where we will end up, but I am quite sure it will be warmer than Michigan.
I just purchased a new notebook computer, so hopefully we will be able to update our blog (including photos) from wherever we end up.
