Maui 2011 (Part 3)

I was over-whelmingly pleased with our condo, Maui Eldorado (oddly not spelled "El Dorado" but I digress). It was run as if it were a hotel with maid service, etc, but there was no restaurant or food service. Many of the units were owned and permanently occupied. Which was great because there weren't any wild parties or screaming families, just "outgoing seniors".

We were located in Kaanapali but a far enough away from the resorts to not feel so claustrophobic yet close enough to feel inclusive. The beach was a 5 minute walk over a golf course. And the property had it's own private cabana right on the beach. I'm a junky for hot, fluffy, clean towels!


Sitting on the cabana each evening to watch the sunset, we often saw many birds. This red-faced beauty was my favorite. Reminded me a bit of sunburned tourists (only prettier!). Ha!


Of course Henri was along for the trip and he loved the beach. With a huge natural barrier of lava rock between our property's cabana and the big resorts, there wasn't much foot traffic. Looks nearly deserted huh? Private, even. Okay, ok, EXCLUSIVE!


As I mentioned, on the advise of a dear friend, we didn't miss a sunset.

Going, going....ahhh...
