 We are in Nipili, and this is where Bob and I stayed on Maui for our honeymoon. And yes, I'm at the ocean again, but I'm not going in because, yeah, the ocean hates me. It's a thing. Anyway, I'm feeling okay. My back hurts because of refresh, but I'm doing all right. So anyway, I'm going to see if we can find anything interesting, but we'll see. I just know I'm staying away from that because, yeah, I'll be back. We are going to do the Rotana this morning. It's Sunday. It's Sunday, September 25th. It is my brother, Michael's birthday, and my dear friend Leslie McGrath's birthday. So happy birthday, guys. Anyway, we're going to go do the Rotana. Yes, my head is doing okay. It's actually itchy. I'm going to take that as a good sign. Anyway, my back hurts less, but it looks very colorful. Anyway, we're going to go do the Rotana and see what we can get into. No trouble for me. Maybe them, but not me. I'll be back. I'm going to be eating off of the Rotana, and we stopped at this overlook. Would you like to see my view? We're going to walk up to the waterfalls next. I'll be back. Supposedly this is one of the waterfalls from the Jurassic Park movies, and there it is right there. The kids want to know where the dinosaurs are. I don't see no dinosaurs. They're the pterodactyls. They're the blood sources. I'll be back. It is just before 7 a.m. on Monday, September 26th. I have a doctor's appointment to check my wound three days after my snorkeling accident. If you haven't seen last week's vlog, check it out if you want. Here it is. I have nine staples in my head. Anyway, leave it to me to hurt myself on vacation. Anyway, husband's taking a shower. I'm going to go sit and have some coffee. We've got a while before we need to leave. It's only about 5 or 10 minutes away, because it's here in town. I'm just going to chill. I'm not having any panic attacks about the doctors or anything. Thank you. Scarlet Graham and your counseling and your medication. Otherwise, I'd be a basket case right now. That's it for the minute. I need to go have some coffee. I'll be back. We are back from the Butterfly Museum and the Chocolate Farm and Factory. We also had a really great sandwich out at a local mom and pop place. That was so good. With a basil aioli. So good. Anyway, the kids came back. Becca took a little bit of a nap and then they're off to the beach. Bob is over at the pool. Me, because of my head injury, cannot get my head wet and anything but the shower. I'm here. That's okay. I did a little drawing, did a little cleaning of the condo. I'm doing a little laundry and I'm watching a little YouTube. You know what? I'm not mad about it. And in case I didn't say, because I don't remember now what I've said or not, because I am on vacation, the doctor said I'm going to be just fine. My head is already healing. That would explain the itching. He says it looks great. It's not infected. It looks to be healing normally. He said the staples are put in so well. He thinks I'll have very little of a scar. Yay. Hopefully no bald spot, but we'll find out. And I'm not having any symptoms of a concussion or anything like that. So all is good, right? All right. I'll be back. Tuesday morning, September 27th. Is that right? Yep. 10 o'clock. 10 o'clock. We are back on another windy Maui road doing some more investigating today. I would say adventuring but hashtag no more staples. Rebecca and I rushed back to the car because it started raining pretty hard. She's gone to go check where the guys are. They went down farther than we did because we don't have the right shoes on. They all left me in the car because hashtag no more staples. I'm not allowed to do anything that might get hurt again. So anyway, I put my hair in a scrunchie because hashtag staples, but it's also windy. Anyway, it's been quite the adventure already. I feel like I just got a second shower. I'll be back. I'm having a good day. I mean, other than being at 10,000 feet and a little lightheaded. I mean, I have my asthmatic, so you know. Anyway, otherwise I'm doing good. You drove through the clouds to get up here. Yeah. Now, I think we have about a quarter of a tank left of gas. So hopefully we can just coast back down to the gas station. Because the sun and law were sure we didn't need gas, so. Because you're going down here, you're just going to coast. If we get stuck on the side of the road tomorrow that y'all know. Because, you know, that might be a thing. Anyway, quick side note, Bob's mom is still not feeling good. She's still not feeling good. I'm not going to go into it, but some person kind thoughts for his mom sure would be much appreciated. So anyway, there's that because, you know. All right, we're going to go see what else we can get up to. I'll be back. You know, as usual in my world, but also when I'm on vacation, I can't keep track of generally what day, time, or anything else it is. Or if I even vlogged yesterday and told you what day it was. But today, I do know. It's Thursday, September 29th. It's like 9.30ish in the morning. 10 to 10. Oh, sorry. 10 to 10. I still don't know what time it is. We are headed over to the ABC store again. It is Mr. Bob's birthday. So everybody wish him happy birthday. He is the big 6-0. Anyway, we're going to get out of the house a little bit. Go get a couple of grocery things. Hopefully at ABC, get some steps in. He's going to go ziplining later. I'm kind of hoping he straps on the GoPro. I should figure that out. And if he does, I'll put the footage in. But yeah, anyway, I'm still sporting the hat because, you know, hashtag no more staples. Anyway, we're going to go get some steps in, see what we can see, and I'll be back. Okay, we're waiting to take a tour of the plantation here on Maui. And Bob is ziplining, I know, right? Anyway, I decided to get like a scarf thing for my head to cover up my staples because I'm getting really tired of wearing a hat. I'm not a hat person, but it is really hot. And so I've got my hair. Like a little bit of hair I have is back up here in a lot. Yeah, anyway, it's Hawaii, so it's hot. All right, that's it for the minute. Anyway, I'll be back. Hey guys, it is 5pm-ish on Friday, September 30th. We go home tomorrow. Whatever we're going to do on Maui, we're going to do today because our go-home adventure starts pretty early in the morning. We have to return to Rattle Harp fairly early and check out a pier fairly early, although our flight doesn't leave until later in the afternoon. That means we're hanging out for quite a while at the airport because we won't have a car, so there's that. Anyway, that's all right. It's been a fun trip, albeit wholly unexpected. AKA staples? I have an appointment Monday to get them out. It is itchy. It has appeared to, according to the doctor and Bob, who's been checking it daily and putting neosporin on it for me, healing very nicely, and if the itching is any indication that I'm healing very well. Obviously, I have my father's hard head because there was no signs of any other problems. She just broke an open skin. Thank God. Well, I'm refreshed all down my back. I can't obviously show you. See, here's one spot. That's a small. That's a small one. I think there was a spot on my arm. I'm not sure if you can... Yep, yep, there it is. There's darker spots all up and down my back. So, anyway, I was telling people that I had a fight with the ocean, lava rocks, and the reef, and I lost. Bob said, no, you didn't. You won because it didn't kill you. I don't know if that's a good or bad, but anyway, now the whole family's been joking the rest of the trip about wrapping me up in Bellora. They're not wrong, but it's been fun anyway. We got to the top of Mount Haleakala, which is 10,000 feet above sea level for those that don't know. We went in a submarine, 130 feet below sea level. Of course, I'm cleared by a doctor, mind you. Otherwise, if I'd had a hand injury, I wouldn't have done any of these things. We've done a lot of hiking, seen a few botanical gardens. The butterfly farm was fun. I would do that again in a heartbeat. We were going to go to the lavender farm today, but we didn't get there. We ended up just going shopping and walking around some of the malls and markets, which was a lot of fun. Right now, Bob is out at the pool swimming. The kids are out doing a little bit more shopping and spending some time alone, just the two of them. It's a family trip, but there's no rule that we have to be stuck together like glue all the time. Anyway, Paulius, my son-in-law, knows I love puzzles. He brought this. Yeah, we've only gotten this far because my head injury, we've been busy, and it's not all black, but I mean, holy crap. Anyway, it might be one of those ones that we just have out at my house for quite a while before we actually get it finished, so we might have to take... I hate to disassemble it because we have gotten that far, but it's a thing. Anyway, let me see what I can do. I'll be back. Hey, guys, it's Sunday. It's Sunday morning. Well, Sunday morning. And one o'clock. Saturday night after midnight, Sunday morning, one o'clock, whatever you want to... We landed just before midnight tonight, back home in Portland. Obviously, if you can see my background, we're back home. We've already unpacked. I know. We're that person. All my plants made it, you guys. I mean, look. Everything's still alive. Yay. Okay. Anyway, we've unpacked. We started laundry. We're going to go to bed, but it's been a fun vacation, although there were some wholly unexpected moments, and oh my God, my head inches where the staples are. Anyway, all right, but it was fun. Glad we did it. Good to spend time with the kids and all of that stuff. Yeah. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, leave them down below.
