A Future Hula Star Thanks You

Nana and I are preparing for our Dream Vacation to Maui. We've received the agenda, used frequent flier miles to upgrade to first class all the way (Thanks Mom!), and decided that renting a car is a very good idea.

We appreciate all the help our friends and family provided in helping to make this possible. If you hosted or attended a wine tasting with me in April or May, or you responded to my blatant plea for help at the very end, you significantly contributed to getting Nana to Hawaii for the very first time. Thank you so much! We couldn't have done it without you.

We depart in less than 72 hours and it's possible that two people have never been so excited about a ride to the airport. We promise to take lots of pictures and post them for you. Count on getting updates and though we won't live-blog the wine receptions and booze cruises, we'll likely keep you in the loop much of the time. If you have suggestions about MUST-DOs on Maui, please post them in the comments.

Lovely Nana has been reading all about the island in a tome my brother Bob's friend Chris lent us Maui Revealed: The Ultimate Guidebook. We've been instructed to be careful not to let the locals see us with it, as they don't appreciate the inside scoop it provides. I'm going to leave that subterfuge up to the Nana.

Don't worry.
I have her back.
