Maui Day 1: Arrival in Kaanapali

We decided to book the later flight into Maui because 1. it was cheaper, and 2. it allowed the girls to go to school on Thursday as they were going to miss the next 4 days of school for the trip.

Hind sight being 20/20, I think we’ll go with the early flight next time. We arrived around 11:00pm (Hawaii time, 1am Pacific time). Let’s just say by the time we arrived, the girls were exhausted and super excited all at the same time (= forget going to sleep any time soon) and well, as for Zoe, the second plane ride got the best of her and she threw up all over me about an hour before we landed..  ... this isn't the first time this has happened to me on a flight, but hoping it's the last!!  Unfortunately, I made the rookie mistake of not packing an extra set of clothes so I got to hang out in my awesome smelling clothes until we got to the hotel (you could smell us from a mile away!!)

We stayed at Honua Kai, room 612.  It was a nice size room, had 1 bd + a little den the girls could use and had a nice lanai that looked out at the mountains (ocean view would also be nice, but would also be much for $$!) Brad did a late night grocery store run so we could have the all important coffee & Hawaiian sweet bread as well as some breakfast makings for Caitlyn’s bday … as for me, I never been so happy to see a shower in my life…
