Day 2

Our second day or our first full day went by in a flash.  Maybe it was because we only had about 4 hours of sleep.  Our plans for the day were to get a different car and go shopping at Safeway Lahaina.  Getting up I felt discombobulated.  You know how you feel after a night out. Your eyes are crossed and you feel not all together.  A beautiful day, sun shining about 80 degrees.  First things first we had our coffee in the balcony.  Our days always start that way.  We went to CJ for breakfast and then on to the airport to return the Jeep.

On the way there is a small stretch the road where the speed limit is 55.  Well that proved to be not the best speed for us.  The Jeep started to shake like the wheels where going to fall off.  All shaken up we pulled off the road expecting to see flat tires or a wheel half off.  but we saw nothing!  You know when we were driving to our condo at night I thought the steering wheel had a lot of play.  I was all over the road.  Not that I ran off the road or crossed the centerline but just hard to control. We thought I was just tired.  We got back in the Jeep and drove slow to return the Jeep.  We now have a ford focus.  We went on to Safeway did our shopping and went back to the condo and eat lunch.  Now it looks like Clela drank most of her wine which is not thru.  She just took medication for her cold.  After that it was take a nap.

Day 1

This my very first  chance blogging so please forgive my poor English spelling and what ever.  Our first day is the type of day you want to forget.  We got here.  It was an epic day so here is the skinny.  We got up at 3 in the morning.  The van was here at 4:15 on time.  I think we will do that again.  Got to the airport on time, great.  Our flight from Milwaukee left on time.  It was a great start.  We went east to go west.  That does not make scents, but it was frequent flyer miles and you go where they want you to go.
Here is what started our trouble.  Atlanta had an ice storm.  People in the south can't cope.  They closed the schools, people were stuck on the road and it was a mess.  Why do I bring this up?  Well they do not have the capacity to de-ice planes in a large capacity. Strike one.  Our plane came form Atlanta.  Stewardess were ticked, passengers were ticked, but we left Detroit.

If you haven't been there it an nice airport.
After 5 1/2 hours we arrived in LA.  We had lots of time so we ate and went back to wait for the plane.  Next a gate change.

Then a time change from 5:42 to 7:30 and a plane change.  Oh we know what a plane change meant we would be left behind.  But as it turned out it was 767 a huge plane.  We got new seats by luck and at 7:30 LA time we left.  People sitting in the middle had 3 seats to them selves.   Stewardess never checked us before taking off.  One women slept laying down on take off. 

If you know me I like Monk.  I'm in my hear no evil and see no evil sleep.

We arrived in Maui at 1:30 and Picked up our sub compact car (not)  We got a Jeep Wrangler.  Well Grams had trouble getting in the Jeep.
