Hawaii Day 1 May 27, 2023

 We left the house at 4 am and drove to the airport, parked, and got on a 6:15am flight to LAX.  The funniest moment of the day was Ryan tapping Grant on the shoulder at the airport and saying: “Don’t move or look now but there is a cheetah loose in the airport.”  Grant turned around to a lady in full cheetah attire and laughed out loud.  We got to LA and at a $100 lunch of sandwiches and water at the airport and flew to Maui, arriving at 12pm Maui time (5pm Dallas time). 

We got a white jeep and drove to Lahaina, stopping for lunch at Captain Jack’s Island Grill – delicious.

We got groceries at Safeway in Lahaina (the initial family grocery shop is always a shit show.  Note to self:  give no one options.  make a menu and tell family members what they need to go get.) We then drove to our condo in Napili which is in between Kapalua and Kaanapali.

The condo complex is a bit old and run down but our view is exceptional.  The kids got into the water immediately and Nick and I went for a walk.

We ate a small dinner, had some drinks, Grant got drunk on a pina colada with a teaspoon of rum in it (JK) and we played Cards Against Humanity and laughed until we cried!

Bed by 9 pm which was 23 hours after we woke up.  Very long, tiring day but everything went about as perfectly as it could – no flight issues, no car issues, and no grocery issues - except for the shit show.
