Gramps is Here

I went to the airport on Thursday night to get dad. Had a good flight but didn't come in till 10:00 (which was 1:00 Vancouver time). We basically got home and went to bed. Had a relaxing day on Friday, hanging around the pool and doing a little shopping. I also booked my dive which I'll do on Monday morning. After last trip's disaster, I went with Maui Dive Shop so there would be no more errors. I'll update that part on Monday night.

Today's big event (Saturday) was the long awaited trip to Molokini. We booked with Pacific Whale Foundation. The staff was great. One of the crew, a guy, was named Makena and actually gave Makena his name tag as a souvenir. It was a perfect day. Relatively calm and totally sunny. Got some great pictures. We were quite disappointed in Molokini though. For a place that's billed as "not to be missed" there weren't ton's of fish and it was very crowded. The water was really clear but that's about it. We then motored to "Turtle Town" the secondary destination. It was really good. Lots more fish, some turtles and just off shore from Tiger Woods' house. Didn't find any golf balls though. The sad part was that gramps didn't go as he was feeling sick the night before and when I woke him up at 5 am, he said to go without him. That was sad. I would recommend Pacific Whale but would actually skip Molokini.

Stopped in Lahaina on the way home and watched a great Keiki (kids) hula show. The kids were good and the musicians were awesome.
