Well, we arrived safe and sound and are having a great time on Maui. Unfortunately, it looks like Baby Bug may be developing pink eye so we’ll probably have to find a clinic today.

The plane ride over was pretty cool since a good friend of mine, Aunty Z, was the lead flight attendant on the crew. She really helped me with the girls and even took them to the flight deck to meet the pilots.

The weather here is beautiful - warm and sunny! However, the vog from Kilauea on The Big Island is currently blowing over the Hawaiian Islands and is clouding up the skies. It’s especially bad here since Maui is closer to The Big Island than Oahu. Anyone with breathing problems are being advised to stay indoors until the vog clears. Needless to say, this is not good for my chronic cough!

The place that we’re staying at, The Westin Kaanapali Ocean Resort Villas, is amazing. I thought it was going to be a typical hotel but it seems more like a condo complete with a full-sized kitchen. The bathroom itself is bigger than Girlie Girl’s bedroom at home with a double headed glass shower and a separate whirlpool bathtub. I think they have some time share units available. Hmmm . . . .

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing heavy or too thought-provoking.

If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

Today’s question is:

If you could choose anyone, living or dead, to write a guest post for your blog, who would it be and why?

Let’s see . . . probably Oprah. Can you imagine the traffic I’d receive?

Our bags are packed and we’re leaving for the airport first thing in the morning. The girls and I are meeting DH who’s already in Maui doing the “guy thing” with his friends. I hope he had fun while he was there because the girls are about to crash the party! I’m still a little under the weather but I’m not giving up the opportunity to stay here for 5 days!

Just looking at that picture makes me feel better! Anyway, hope you all have a great weekend and I’ll see you when we get back.
