It felt a little sad. We tried to make it another fun day, but our hearts were a little heavy. We got in the Jeep and drove to this famous little Kihei Cafe that everyone raved about for breakfast. We were so sad to see that they only accepted cash. Greg hadn't even brought his ATM card. And I had left my wallet in the room with lots of cash AND a bank card. So, we drove back to the hotel and enjoyed another visit to the lovely Grand Wailea Breakfast Buffet on the veranda. It's hard to complain about that!
Even though we had to clean up and check out, we still sat by the ocean for hours. We talked and swam and relaxed. When the wind picked up, we moved to the pool area. We felt so lucky because we had absolutely gorgeous weather every single second of our trip, but the forecast for the entire next week was stormy and rainy!

We had lunch by the pool, and then finally decided to try out the big water elevator. It was so fascinating! It was this big shaft that when the door was sealed shut, it filled up with water and the whole group floated up on this large tube. Then once everyone gets out at the top, they release all the water out of a volcano in the pool, and the tube slowly floats down for the next guest. It was a way to get to the top for the water slides, which we rode down.
After a day in the water and the sun, we showered and cleaned up and enjoyed the breeze blowing through the beautiful open-air lobby for an hour or so. About this time, Greg's eye got so itchy and swollen. His whole face started to get swollen on that side. We decided to make our way to the airport and stop and get some allergy medicine.
With some medicine in him, Greg started to feel better, but he ended up having a miserable flight home. He had heartburn and couldn't sleep at all. I did much better, thanks to my new discovery of ear plugs and a sleep mask on an airplane! I will never fly the red-eye without those things!
Our trip was so magical and so fun. It was so hard to see it end. I am so grateful for our time on Maui, for everyone who helped at home, and for Greg, who works so hard to make all my dreams come true.
We kissed the islands good-bye...until next time...
