Thur 28 Aug, Jason and I arrived in paradise 10 minutes early. We flew into Kahului Maui OGG Airport on Thursday at 3:00 PM. While leaving the airport, Jason treated me to a beautiful orchid lei. We jumped in our six seater mini SUV upgrade rental car and headed to our hotel/condo located in Napili, about a 30 minute ride from the airport on the West Maui coast. To our surprise, when we checked in, we were upgraded to an oceanview view room. We can see the island Molokai in the distance. After a little rest, we drove to the local supermarket to stock up on some TV dinners, cereal, pineapple and Kona coffee. The pineapple and Kona coffee were the only deals. The supermarket prices are approximately 50% higher the mainland. (A gallon of milk costs $8.99.) I am surprised we don't hear more about the Hawaiians complaining about gas prices, approximately $4.60 a gallon. (This price is down 10 cents according to the local TV news.) We ate our dinners on our laini and fell asleep listening to the ocean waves.
