We only had six days with the girls in Hawaii with us.
We flew in on Wednesday so that really didn’t count as it was a long 5 1/2 hour flight.
They were flying out on a Monday so again that day really didn’t count much.
On the fourth day we let them swim and have fun at the beach.
We shopped a few times and ate meals both in the condo and out.
They were leaving on Monday at noon and the morning only allowed a small meal time, clean up time and one more quick visit to the beach.
After we left them at the airport we returned the mini van to the car rental place and exchanged it for a small Nissan versa.
I wanted to rent a Kia Soul as that is the car I am thinking of purchasing but there was not one available.
We had such a nice time in our condo and on the trip.
I would recommend it to anyone who is wanting to go and explore the Island of Maui.
The rest of the week we had time to explore and rest and enjoy the paradise life.

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. ====================
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
Courage is not the absence of fear but it's taking action in the midst of it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
