Needed it, slept a long time today. I think I went to bed at 2:30AM and got up at 11AM

Ate lunch did a bit of youtube, basically a needed unproductive day.

Almost done with my steps though, got 1000 more.

Weight: 345.2

Watched my son run a meet, still cracked 11 minutes, I blame the pollen.

Day started hot, we were cooked by the sun, then got cool and window, sucked when it started to rain.

I did my walk at home with some drops hitting me.

All done though.

Today woke up with a bad headache, I should go to bed early, maybe get 10 hours of sleep.

Moving slow, but got stuff done.

Also got my steps done.

My son ran an event that he was not accustomed in running the 800M dash. That was his main race for the day but he was saving himself for the 1600M and 3200M this Saturday. I fully expect him to complete it in 5:00 min and 10:45 respectively, my stopwatch showed he ran has 800 in 2:14.14, officially his time as 2:14.42, a PR, but what was amazing was he place 2nd overall in 2 heats.

Got an hour left in the day to get 2700 more steps. I should be able to get it.

This was a fun trip. the main reason was to meet with friends and show my wife Maui again.

The trip was OK, lets start with the flight there, we boarded HAL Flight 29 at about 10:00 AM Thursday. We left the house about 8:15 and made it there on time. Apparently the way I paid with my Hawaiian Air Credit card allowed for free luggage. Seatac is Seatac, security sucks even for a guy that works there. But we got through and had some time to rest. Flight itself was 5 1/2 hours, I downloaded a bunch of stuff on my phone via Spotify and Youtube Premium. Wife didn’t know and she had to settle on sleep. Side note, seems like downloads require a Wifi connection. Another thing was my watch died, I think the stopwatch took up too much juice.

Once we landed we got our Rental car and to zippy’s where I charged my watch then went to Costco. We got our Hawaii resupply shopping done early. Car was a OK a white Nissan Sentra, glad it wasn’t a Kia anything.

We went to West Maui to check in at our hotel, the Aston Mahana at Kaanapali, wow our room was much larger than we were used to. Beautiful view, comfortable deck. 10th floor, was nice.

We went to the really nearby Times Supermarket to stock up on a few things, and I was reminded how expensive things were.

For 18 eggs it was 11.50 and a gallon of milk was 7.30

Noticed there were a row of food trucks, two things struck me when we were there, the place was clean, and there were a lot of food trucks.

I went into detail on our Friday, but to summarize, we did a lot.

Iao needle gave my quite a bit of floors for my fitbit

Saturday we stayed on the west side not wanting to venture too far. We walked the beach and shopped. Got a good view of my Molokai Home

I did make it back in time to finish my 10k steps and post on my blog.

Going home was well timed as well, got up around 6, had breakfast packed, got a bunch of steps in. Checked out and left the hotel at 10:30. We had a few more things to do though before headed back, good for my future self.

• Easy unrushed drive back to Central Maui after checking out at 10:30
• Got a lot of steps done
• Got Poke and final things from Foodland
• A take out meal to eat on the plane (that was such a good idea)
• Fuel up before returning car.

We reached the airport at 12:30 with 2 1/2 hours to spare. We got through security really quick and found our gate and chilled out for 90 minutes while I got the balance of my steps done. Note that I got all my floors at the hotel, I climbed up 11 floors (1 to 12 is 11 floors) and it only gave my 2 floors, so I redid stopping to check on my floors at each floor to insure I got what I climbed.

To me the foot room we paid extra was worth it, another trip not needed the belt extension.

Flight attendant was really nice. Anyway good trip.

One of the things I wanted to do on the trip was to trigger some memories, and get my brain to recall stuff. For the most part it did.

Got my steps done today, weight is less then I expected, totally thought I was going to be over 350.
