Today it was time to just relax and hang around the condo. In the morning I worked on the blog and Beth used the coin-operated laundromat in the building (check out the view behind our fancy drying racks). This afternoon we went down to the pool for about 2 and a half hours. The sun was pretty hot again so I was in the water a lot, but the big news is that even Beth went in for a little dip. When we went back up to our room I watched the Maple Leafs win and we tried to connect with our children, and my mom as well. It was great to hear their voices and catch up a bit with what's been going on back home (apparently there's a big part of a tree in our backyard).
Beth made a great supper and we decided to eat it out on the balcony with the beautiful sunset as our background. Later in the evening we drove south about a mile or so to a community called Honokowai, but really the road is just one continuous line of condos and resorts along the water. The one we're staying in is, of course, our favourite - our balcony is literally 8 metres from the water! We feel so fortunate to have found it on such short notice, as we only planned this trip one month ago. We picked up a few items at a grocery store in town, but we have to plan carefully as we only have a few days left to eat up all of our food. Tomorrow we hope to travel up the tallest mountain/volcano on the island but it looks like the weather may be rainy so we might have to postpone it a day.
