Yesterday was a relaxing day for me. Rob continued his trek around the volcano and I did a yoga class, a water aerobics class and then lunch at a beachside restaurant. I found the small birds to be fairly aggressive - at one point 4 of them had landed on the table trying to pull morsels of food from an abandoned plate. Not quite as bad as Alfred Hitchcock's drama "The Birds" but the images did cross my mind. Last night we ate at Kahuna Kabobs in Lahaina. It was a yummy, casual meal in proximity to boutique vendors of arts and crafts, jewelry, tour packages and beachwear. We ambled down Front Street, window shopping and watching the people who have come from near and far to enjoy this beautiful island.
This is our last morning in Maui - we are leaving in the afternoon to head to Honolulu for one night and then back to Seattle on Saturday. Even though it has been a fabulous vacation, it will be good to get back home and see Whimsy dog and our families. Rob went to the gym this morning and then we took a walk along the beach for an hour. It was fun to watch the surfing lessons being conducted offshore and to enjoy the sculpture and beautiful flowers along the pathway of our walk. He went snorkeling and I am gathering up the various bits and pieces of my knitting projects. Rob and I quite often have divergent goals when it comes to "vacation time". He wants mini adventures and every days is packed from dawn to dusk with activities. I want a measured amount of activities but am more interested in relaxing, resting, reflecting. Even though I had the best of intentions otherwise, I managed to fit in very little reading or actual knitting. Despite that, this trip has to be recognized as one of the most restful vacations I've had since my honeymoon 15 years ago. Thanks to the very capable Sara (who is doing a yeoman's job in handling all items related to work!) and has provided me real opportunity to take a break from work. For a change. A welcome change.
