Aloha! - Day 7: Final Day

This was our last day in Maui.  Such a sad day.  I loved Maui and didn't want to return to reality.  I did want to see our animals as I missed them, but did not want to come back to the mainland. 

We talked a lot about options for this day.  I wanted to beach hop to the various beaches in south Maui, snorkel the rock, or hike...but, we did none of that.  We were tired and decided another lazy day on the beach was in the cards for us.  This time if we were going to spend all day being beach bums I at least wanted chairs and an umbrella, so we rented one through the resort.  It didn't cost too much, but it was definitely well worth the expense.  The chairs were definitely more comfortable to lay on and I could get under the umbrella when I felt like I had too much sun.  For lunch time I made our lunch in the room and brought it out for the both of us to eat on the beach.

This is to remind me of what serenity looks like.

Fun in the sun...this might make the Christmas cards this year!

Following our last lazy beach day we went to the best sushi restaurant...Sansei.  It was not that far from our resort as it was probably a 10 minute drive.  This was a nice change from the drive to dinner the night prior.  We had some of the best sushi we have ever eaten.  It was so good.  If you ever make it to Maui I would highly recommend this place.  This is the one restaurant where we did not take a couples picture as the place was small and where we were seated really did not allow for a picture.

On our way back to the resort it was raining.  This was the first time it rained while we were there.  It was actually kind of nice...maybe that is because we live in Phoenix and never see rain anymore.

The following morning we woke up to head to the airport so we can get home to see our animals.  We spent pretty much all of Friday traveling.  We arrived back in Phoenix at midnight, which really sucked.  With the time change we couldn't fall asleep until 2am and then we had to get up at 6am to pick up the girls.  When we got home just after midnight Captain was screaming at us for leaving him all week. This cat does not like to be left alone.  He likes people and the dogs.  Tom did come to our house a few times to check on Captain and he got a scolding as well from Tom.  Too funny!

It was good to pick up the dogs as they were extremely tired.  They just kind of sauntered out of doggie daycare as they could barely keep their eyes open.  They slept for the next 24 hours straight and that was great for Andy and I because we were tired too.

It's good to be home, but I am now in love with Hawaii and can't wait to go back!
