Out the coach window before we left. (It got a lot worse but we were not there to participate.)
The view from our deck on the 5th floor of the hotel. Yes, we feel guilty.
The rest of these pictures are from a short driving tour we took in the car yesterday up the road to the north of the hotel.
I guess we could not have picked a better time to come to Hawaii. One more day and we might not have made it. The only real delay we suffered was a 30 minute wait for the deicing truck to come and spray down our plane, then we were off. It seemed a little insensitive to post these pictures at the height of the storm and I know many people are still without power. Thus the delay in making this posting. On one hand we feel really lucky to be here but somehow it feels like we should be back in Seattle suffering with everyone else. I guess we will just have to hold up under the pressure.
So far we have gone to Lahaina for lunch once and the short drive up north. In between we have eaten too much and sat around a lot. There are lots and lots of whales out in the channel and we are hoping to do a whale watching boat in the next couple of days. Hopefully we will have some good pictures from that. Maybe a sunset or two too and some snorkeling.
I say enjoy it. You couldn't have known the weather when you chose the dates of your vacation. So it was a gift of God's timing that it got you out of town and to sunshine THIS week!
