Maui Vacation Jan. 2013

Well after a long ferry ride, we got into Vancouver an hour late, arriving at 3:30pm. Then a standing room only bus ride into Vancouver and the Canada Line sky train to the airport. We got to the Fairmont hotel at 5pm.
Great hotel, we stayed on the Fairmont Gold Club floor and enjoyed free appies and some wine. Later watched a little TV, then to bed to dream of sun and sand.
After a nice free breakfast, we checked out, went thru customs and the plane even left 10 minutes early.
But the best part was that the plane wasn't full, so we had three seats to ourselves. What a difference that makes to airplane travel.
We picked up our rental car, did a quick shop at Costco for the essentials ( booze, meat and water) then got to our Condo about 3:30.
Weather is sunny and 82 but the trade winds are blowing so it is quite comfortable..
Got a few more groceries across the street then settled in with a glass of wine to watch the sunset at 6:30. Forgot that when the sun goes down here it is almost instantly dark.

Here is a picture of our beach.
