Gloriously Uneventful Days

We have had two lazy days on Maui and they have been fabulous! Yesterday we set out to buy a few necessary items (sunscreen, towels, cereal, etc.) and wound up visiting Costco, Walmart, Old Navy, Borders, Starbucks and Ross. No, we didn't feel the need to make up for lost time with all these chain stores, but we thought we might find what we needed at these places. After my meltdown at Walmart (I think they must circulate soul-sucking chemicals through the vents there), I required a Frappucino to soothe my nerves.

We then set out to find a grocery store, but went to the movies instead. We saw and loved The Incredibles and were pleasantly surprised to find that theater has matinee prices all day on Tuesdays. We're already making plans for a marathon movie day next Tuesday.

Safeway was the next stop and we headed back to our room. That is, until I remembered that we saw an IHOP earlier in the day. Our perishables promptly forgotten, we had comfort food that was top-notch IHOP.

We both slept in this morning, did a few necessary errands, including renting snorkeling gear, and headed to the beach and to get lunch. We had yummy onion rings (the onions are dipped in pancake batter and then panko flor before frying) and burgers for lunch and had our first tropical drink of the trip. After that, we went for a walk on the beach and waded in the water. Then we went back to our room, did laundry, relaxed in the hammock and read.

What a great feeling it is to do so little.
