Maui 2012

We saw a whale while we were eating at this place, I missed out on a photo of a whale, but here is Immy colouring
 Maui has to be one of my favourite places. Even after our near death experience, she says dramatically. Our hire car stopped working when we were driving along the cliffs on the waters edge on the way to the south side of the island from the north. Ri and I have had a lot of interesting experiences with driving while travelling, like driving down the Amalfi coast in a smart car, cruising around the Tenderloin district in a little yellow tourist car and navigating "two way" streets in Scotland, but during those terrifying instances I was only afraid for my life (a maybe a little for Ri, but hell, he was driving), but this time MY BABY was in the car. By the time Ri managed to get the rental car to limp into an IHOP parking lot I was super cranky, why were they renting out cars THAT STOPPED when so much driving on the island involved GIANT CLIFFS with the potential for a DRAMATIC WATERY DEATH.
Okay, so that was the one bad experience, the rest was a dream, lots of time on the beach, relaxing by the pool, a day at the ocean centre and our first luau.
The beach next to our resort
 Immy loved smashing all of Ri's sandcastles.
The ocean centre
 Before we went to the ocean centre we had lunch at a nearby restaurant next to the water and a whale came so close to us (I'm so cranky you can't see it in any of my photos). It was just magic.Was not expecting that at all!
The pool at the resort 
 I loved this resort so much, the restaurant Dukes delivered food to you at the poolside. The pool was great for toddlers.
