Maui Vacation......

So Hubby and I are taking off the last week of July. Actually it's the end of July beginning of August. I need some time off in the worst way. You can not imagine.

We were really hoping to be able to go somewhere. I would love to take a Maui Vacations. Maui is my favorite island and I absolutely love going there.

There's this palm tree on a beach just south of Lahaina on Maui that is very special to hubby and I. Our first trip to Hawaii was 10 days on Maui. We stayed in a condo outside Lahaina. There were these funky old bicycles at the condo and we would ride them down the beach to this leaning palm tree to snorkel. It was 1986 and we had a great time. We went back to Maui and that tree in 2001. It was really exciting to find it still there. That is our tree.

Alas, it looks like a vacation is not in the cards right now. The way Nala's hips are I can not risk putting her in a kennel, even for a day or two. If I could find someone to come and stay at the house here, then maybe we could sneak away for a night or two. But it doesn't look hopeful. That's okay though. Nala won't be around forever so I have to enjoy her while she's here.
