A few weeks ago, TL and I took an adventure to Maui, with our sweet Andie in tow. I was a little nervous about the flight (she's flown twice before, on much shorter trips) but she did very well on both of flights to and from Maui.
We stayed on the Kaanapali side of Maui, and didn't really venture out too much. In fact, Andie only had to take one ride in the car (we went to breakfast at The Plantation House in Kapalua) but other than that, she only had to go to and from the airport! She did really well riding the shuttle, we did take it one day into Lahaina to do a little bit of exploring.
It was a lot of fun to bring her into the pool (and she took a short dip in the ocean) and she seemed to really like the water. TL was tossing her up in the pool and went to get out and she started crying in protest. It was fun to take her to Whalers Village for the first time, and take her to new restaurants where she got to see lots of new faces. She did really well, and it was fun to see her take everything in for the first time.
Our friends were visiting at the same time so we were able to do dinner with them many nights. I relaxed by the pool and on the beach for a little while (which was awesome). It was just a laid back visit... we didn't do much - just enjoy the beauty and sunshine.
It was so wonderful, and we feel so lucky that we were able to take her!!
Hope you're having a great week!
