About six weeks ago, I offered Papa a choice between visiting the Grand Canyon, Big Sur, or Maui, after Thanksgiving. He chose Maui without hesitation. We flew to Maui this morning, arriving just after noon. We hit the ground running, driving to Paia for a leisurely lunch at Mamas Fish House. Then we drove to Wailea, where we are staying at Hotel Wailea for two nights. We had drinks in the round open air bar, overlooking the sea. We walked on the beach at sunset. The flowers are beautiful, temperature in the high 70's. Papa made a good choice!
