Hoyochi Nikko Resort, Maui

We stayed in three places this time around in Maui as booking one month together wasn’t working for us. On the third condo we hit what I could and would call is definitely paradise. The pictures are as advertised, the grounds are immaculate thanks to the daily routine of Alan. We were a few feet off the ocean and the view is more than your heart can take.

The condo we had was super clean, modern, well kept and such a pleasure to be in. The lanai was spacious and the furniture was clean, fresh and we all but lived on it. It felt like home the moment we entered and, Terry, the owner, was amazing in  her helpfulness and assistance.

There were turtles (huge) steps away and we also saw our very first mongoose. It looks like a baby weasel but wow, are they ever quick.

The feeling here is private….grounds….beach….There are very few condos here and that is what makes it so special.

I was sort of reluctant to write about this as now I know we will never be able to get in again because everyone will want to be here. Terry, don’t forget us we will be back.

Paint and Sip, Kihei

December 13, 2019

 

The real name is Island Art Party

Back in November when son, Trevor, was with us in Maui we went to the “Paint and Sip” evening. We arrived early and were seated while we waited for the other people to arrive. In comes 8 women who belong (they say) to a Book Club. One of the girls said this was the girls night out, kiddies and husbands were at home. Let the fun begin! It really did begin, it did.

There is a bar and you can order whatever you want to consume…be it with or without alcohol. The music is loud and fun. Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley to the forefront. These girls sang every word and danced while painting. Our instructor was having a blast as well.

Now…Neither Don, Trevor or myself have ever held a small paint brush in our hands. Walls and patios don’t count. Our instructor had picked the subject matter for the night and it was painting Koa fish. Nervous? You bet. Was it fun?

ABSOLUTELY.

Trevor painted his fish on a turtle base (easy to put in suitcase) and Don and I opted for the canvas. I highly recommend this. It is in Kihei in the Azeka Mall.
