We might not come home! Although we’d need to find new jobs because Jon and Jason can work from home but that home cannot be in Hawaii. HR specifically calls out Hawaii as a place they cannot work – nobody seems to know why.
So far our daily routine has been to walk along the beach up to Honolulu Coffee to enjoy their Hawaiian Latte – a wonderful coconut and macadamia nut concoction. Sip while staring at the ocean, with a cool breeze in our hair. It’s been sunny blue skies with temps in the 80’s. You forget just how blue the sky can be. Just how warm the sun can be.
We follow this with some time at the beach or cabanas with a 180 degree view of the ocean. Yesterday we added a trip to the farmer’s market to load up on tropical fruit – strawberry papaya, Maui gold pineapples and avocados the size of your head!
Today we added snorkeling at Ulua beach, the beach you can see from our condo. Jason and Erin saw a sea turtle! We all heard the whale songs while we were underwater – super cool! Plus we saw the spout and then the breech. We can’t wait til Friday when we go out whale watching in an outrigger canoe.
We thought about going up to Haleakala for sunrise – way too early. Then thought about sunset but we’ve watched beautiful ones right from Ulua beach. Seemed like like too much driving so tonight we decided to watch sunset from Morimoto, a restaurant at the hotel just up the beach . I made reservations before Christmas. It did not disappoint. Everything was yummy.
