1.) The new boat-dock's in place at L'Lodge. With its new construction, anchoring and cement floors, it is way more stable than the old dock. There's still a little work left for the dock-building crew but they are scheduled to come out early next week and finish up. We are excited at the prospect of having "Boo's Cruise" in a lift on the dock and right at our fingertips next summer. We are also hopeful that guests will be able to safely tie their boats up and pop in for a visit. The dock looks nice and peaceful down there right now, but come summer, the party waters will be roiling! At any rate, we're VERY glad to be rid of the old dock. It was a little worrisome--dipping, flapping, creaking, splintering and jerking around down there. We were concerned that it was going to just give in during the winds and break apart and float into the side of someone else's dock (or boat!) and cause damage. Not only was it an eyesore, it was a potential liability. Now that the new dock is in and looks spiffy, Ed and I have to get out there and paint the railing on the catwalk and pressure wash and re-seal the planks. Hopefully, when we get back from Maui, we'll have some fine weather for just that.
2.) Ahhh, Maui...Less than a week now until we leave. Today, we drag the luggage out and start trying to make sense of the mounds of stuff I've piled on the bed in the spare bedroom. Ed's been urging me to take just a few things and wear them and then send them to the hotel laundry to be worn again later (and washed and worn again later, and so on) but his urging has gone largely ignored. Clean clothes daily are good enough for him. I, however, like clean, different clothes daily! I know he's trying to keep the amount of luggage to a minimum. Probably for 2 reasons: 1.) I'll buy more stuff when I'm there...and, said "stuff" will have to be packed back home. 2.) I still have a bit of a sore shoulder and likely as not, will be whining about what I can and cannot carry by myself. So, folks...I can hardly wait to go upstairs with him and begin the packing n-e-g-o-t-i-a-t-i-o-n-s, haha!
3.) Last night Ed reserved a Cessna 172 to lease and fly while I'm doing my afternoon in the spa. He's so excited to fly over the island and the blue-green ocean, for his log book to reflect hours flown in Maui, HI! He told me I should plan something equally as exciting for myself while I'm there. But I already have it planned. What stirs me the most is just the wide ocean itself. I can't wait for those long sunset solitary walks along the water's edge...hello deep ocean, hello deep inner me.
Love and at Least 3 4 U 2, L
