Maui Vacation Jan.2013

We woke up early, Maui is 2 hours behind( or is it ahead?) Anyway 7 here is 9 in Nanaimo.
After breakfast I went for a walk on the beach then we drove up to a local farmers market and got a few veggies then went to Safeway for more groceries. Our Safeway card save's a few bucks.
The downside of the condo is that this one is poorly stocked. No cooking oil, sugar or any condiments so we have to look for the smallest sizes of things for our 2 week stay. We'd need the same for a month. Maybe next year!
We came back and spent some time at the pool, trying to not over do it and get fried in the first days.
After lunch we drove into Kahalui, a 15 minute drive. Bought some fishing stuff at Walmart.
Back in Kihei I went to a local fishing store and bought another lure.
I brought a rod and reel to try some beach fishing.
Spent the rest of the afternoon on the lanai reading.
Every evening many of the residents gather on the lawn in front of the beach to watch the sunset and anyone that wants can join in the ceremonial blowing of the conch shell.
Everyone here is very friendly . Nice to go to the barbecues to cook dinner and meet other people.
Many here from Canada, some from Utah, some from North Dakota.
We met a nice couple from Alberta and had them over for a drink, invited them for dinner next week.
