Another day in paradise. We had to get up at 6:00 to be on a bus to go snuba (snorkel meets scuba). We boarded the boat and headed to Molokini crater which is this amazing volcano crater in the middle of the ocean that is now a coral reef. Along the way we way several whales including a mother and baby just off the side of our boat. It is always an incredible sight to see a whale but seeing a whale and its baby is really special. Once we got anchored all of us got off the boat and went snorkeling. The kids struggled at first but got good at it after a short while. After snorkeling we went to another spot where there were suppose to be a lot of sea turtles but the water was too rough to have the visibility need to see them. We went back to Molokini and put on our wetsuits to get ready to snuba. Tony and John went together and Shelly and Gina went together. Tony and Gina ended up being brave enough to go down 15 - 20 feet below the surface but John and Shelly never went much below the surface. While we were under water we heard whale sounds which was probably the best part of the whole trip, it was really cool! After about 30 minutes of snuba we boarded the boat, had lunch and headed back to the harbor where we came from.
Once we got back to the Fairmount we grabbed our beach gear and headed down to the pool and beach. The weather was clear and breezy and perfect for hanging by the pool. All of us played paddle ball, caught rays and swam in the pool. Later Gina went to the beach with her boogie board and some friends. Around 4:30 we decided to go in and get cleaned up for the evening. Us adults were invited to a VIP dinner for the top performers with the head of SAP consulting at the Four Seasons. The setting and dinner where both excellent and we enjoyed connecting with old friends and meeting some new folks. The kids had dinner on their own at Ko which is a restaurant at our hotel and then hung out on property and in the room. We stayed in touch with them via text until we got home. On the way back from the Four Seasons we had to stop a couple times to look at the stars. The sky is so clear that you can see stars that I don't think we have ever seen before.
When we got back there was a gift from SAP of Bon Jovi's new CD and a bracelet from Tiffany's, not to shabby! All of us were tired after a long day and headed off to bed.
