This is the view from our deck at the Punahoa in Maui - pretty much perfection. From this vantage point we can watch the parade of whales passing by, spouting and jumping, or the turtles swimming among the rocks, or the surfers on the beach, or the setting sun, or the moon on the water at night, or the fantastic cloud formations, or the play of the wind on the water, or the surf crashing below us. You'd think we'd never leave, but we also have been golfing, snorkelling, beaching, and soon-to-be hiking and surfing on a paddle boat.
Two Roadcats (Bob and Susie) are in Maui soakingup the tropical sun, while two (Kibo and Moshi) have to stay home, poor babies. They're being well taken care of by neighbor Peggy, who spoils them outrageously, giving them tuna and treats and playing games with them. We miss them . .
Every night there's a spectacular sunset, each one different and beautiful.
Playing Mexican Train with Penny, Mark, Chet and Georgia. 
Another gorgeous sunset . . .
If you get up early enough you see the the clouds turning pink as the sun rises over Haleakala, and the moon on its way down. 
Susie's new sun hat . . . . .
Bob is graduating from the guitar to the ukelele, here practicing on Chet's ukelele.
At 8000 feet, hiking down into the crater of Haleakela.
This is what you see when you hike up Waeihu Ridge . . .
A black and white trio at the Seawatch Restaurant in Wailea . . . .
Celebrating with a Coke (with champagne later!!) . . .
