Poor me. I’m in Maui this week. I don’t know how I’m managing to survive the balmy 85 degree weather, the Hawaiian sun that makes you golden not brown, and the soft sandy beaches… but I’m ok guys really! Actually, the truth is I kind of miss my computer and my DSL connection. I feel… cut off! So I’m here with my husband and parents to play some serious golf at some serious courses. This place is no joke for golf. I played at the Plantation Course at Kapalua yesterday. The course conditions were so nice and the views so breathtaking, it literally took my breath away and I couldn’t play golf very well. Or at least that’s what I convinced myself yesterday. The grass on the course was so perfectly groomed it was like Astroturf. By the end of the day I realized I was just not worthy of such a course. Back to practice on the mainland when I get back home. We’re staying at the The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas which has been very nice and comfortable. We gave our parents the master bed room and my husband and I are bunking on the pull-out in the studio area. Other than the waitress at the pool-side bar dumping a tray of margaritas, tarter sauce, and water (all mixed together) on my husband yesterday, we’ve had a pleasantly uneventful stay so far. We’ve had some great food so far.. a simple casual dinner at Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahaina the night we arrived and a perfect dinner at sunset at The Hula Grill in Ka’anapali. I had the Aloha Mixed Plate at Aloha Mixed Plate and I was happy to find you just can’t go wrong ordering the dish the place is named after. Mmmmmm. And at Hula Grill everything was good. There’s was a barefoot bar for people who something more casual but we opted for the regular dining area where we sat oceanside and watched the sun go down. Depending on how much my husband decides to work this week in the hotel I may squeeze in a few posts but for now I’ll leave you with a few links that I’ve added to my blog roll recently for you to check out.
