She was...speechless! LOL

whoo-hooo for you & lisa!!

mmmm...mai tais in hawaii...brings back good memories.

happy couple!

private...yeah! nice...very nice.

Lisa looks VERY happy! ;-)))))

LOL -- one of the guys on our bike trip down the volcano is from Portland, OR. He was *really* enjoying the "dry" weather. "Dry" being a relative term - the day we arrived, it had finished a pretty good rain day. While we were there, we had some occasional showers, very humid.

Not like the semi-arid land in SoCal..

Boy, that sure looks like a nice warm dry place, just perfect for tropical drinks!

mom & dad just left here today ... we are having our fourth wettest january, and wettest january since 1980,

Besides it having rained about 41 of the last 44 days ...

congratulations!!!

And here's a fitting end to the "sunrise" we saw - that same day, from above the beach behind our villa.

A short stop down the volcano - you can see how bundled up we were (it was about 40 deg. F on top - pretty warm actually!). This was about 13 miles down the road..

If you go to Maui, we HIGHLY recommend taking the bike trip down the Haleakala volcano. There's a sunrise version and a mid-day version. The 38 mile downhill trip takes about 0.2 miles of peddling...Lisa tried to make it more - our cruise leader told her she was the 1st person to take a right turn (uphill) vs. left turn downhill at our first stop!

A great trip - and the weather cooperated to the hilt..

You can't see the sunken bathtub, separate shower, and "water" closet in this shot. All tiled/inlaid marble. Fabulous! Another full sized bath upstairs!

At checkin, we were informed our "room" had been upgraded to a villa! WOW -- 1800 sq. ft. of room it was.. This is the downstairs area.
