Today is another travel day to Maui. We had to return the car by 12 noon so we had to occupy ourselves in the morning. Since we packed the night before we got up and took our time sipping our huge stock of Lion coffee that we purchased earlier in the week.
After some relaxation we walked to the mall which was right around the corner. Jonathan and Alex were able to locate a EB Game store and and arcade so we were entertained for a few hours. Around 11pm we checked out and headed to the airport.
Everything went smooth checking in the car and getting to the gate. It seemed as though the inter island flight terminal was pretty lax on security. We sat at the gate until our 4:50pm flight. The kids watched videos and Alex got a Wall-e coloring book.
The flight to Maui was short. Our luggage had made it there on an earlier flight as it was sitting over to the side when we arrived. We then headed over to the Alamo rental center. The attendant informed us that our reservation had been canceled. Although we had canceled an earlier reservation for a last minute $179 deal we had not canceled the more recent one. Obviously their system had messed up our 1st cancellation. The attendant acted annoyed and didn't seem like she was going to help us. I just persisted and we got the $179 rate.
We were on our way to the Kalapani Beach Club. We arrived got checked in and headed down for a meal. By this time it was almost 8pm. The bar had a cheesy male/female singing duo. Anne said it reminded her of the Saturday night skit with Will Farrell. I didn't think it was that bad. They started talking to the kids and asking questions. That's when the one way shouting started and we had to reel them in. Luckily the finished at 8pm. The male singer came over and said "Good luck when the become teenagers. It's a good thing you are young". I didn't know what to think of that.
Off to bed. Why does every travel day seem to take a day even when the flight is only one hour?
