Thursday

Thursday finally slept till 7 a.m. versus awakening around 3 or 4.  Time zone synch begins.  The morning was a little more overcast around the west and east mountains.  We had planned to drive up to Haleakea Volcano to hike, however, the weather is for 40s clouds and afternoon rain.  Opted for next trip as the forecast does not improve and we need to bring proper gear (assumes we come back).

Headed out to one of our favorite restaurants Paia Fish Market for a late lunch.  They were very busy, so we shared a table with a young couple from Miami, via NYC, via London from Ukraine.  Interesting how we all love snow skiing and their take on European slopes being better and less expensive.  They recommended Italy Dolomite mountains for skiing experience.  Talked briefly about them going back and how they lived in Western Ukraine and those don't experience the war so relatively safe.  Sirens go off country wide, but their relatives feel safe.  Weird, but makes sense as you hear the same about Tel Aviv being relatively normal even during a war.

A little shopping for Janie (no purchases) and then back to the room to get ready for the pool where we hung out until sunset, then back to room for leftovers and discussion on future travel planning.  Reading our books.  So different with no have to be here or do this, which is weird you spend the money and time to travel so far to get the experience.  Vacation from retirement....hmmmm.
