Maui Day 2

First day of the SAP Winners Circle/SEA award trip. Tony and I stopped by the hospitality suite to pick up our itinerary. We received a beach bag with a few goodies inside. Wrist bands for the concert on Sunday night (rumor is that Bon Jovi is playing), two small flash lights, two small backpacks, and a Kodak HD flip camera (video and still). Today the only scheduled item is the welcome reception at 7 PM the kids are included for this evening.

After this we went down to the pool to meet up with the kids. We hung out at the pool until around 11 AM. Tony and I had a outdoor massage while the kids hung out in the room for an hour. The massage was well needed after the long plane ride.

We decided to have lunch off resort property. We wanted to get out of the sun and decided that we did not want to pay $14 for the kids virgin pina coladas again. We went to a near by town, Kihei. We had lunch at the Kihei Cafe. This cafe is a greasy spoon. After lunch John and Tony headed over to the skate ramp across the street while Gina and I walk around the shopping bazaar. John had a great time at the skate park and Gina and I picked up a few souvieners. It was 2:30 PM, we went to a drug store near by and picked up some beach toys (boogie board and beach ball).

Now that we have the boogie board we decided to catch some waves back at the Fairmont. The kids took turns on the boogie board and playing paddle ball with us. John and a little boy named Evan tossed a football around at the beach. John was impressed by Evan's trowing ability. I think Evan was about 5 years old.

At the Welcome Reception we were entertained by Hawaiian music, hula dancers, and a fire thrower, juggler (I am not sure what they call those guys, maybe you call them crazy). There was a buffet dinner and all you could drink lava flows. There was face painting available for the kids. Gina decided to get a butterfly and a turtle on her hands. John thinks he is too old for face paint.

Sunday we are going horse back riding...stay tuned.
