BEAUTIFUL MAUI SUNSET
PEOPLE ENJOYING THE BEACH AFTER SUNSET 

I am very comfortable in my one bedroom condo here at Mahana Resort.  But, the sound of the waves below me awakened me several times during the night.  I thought at first I was hearing the sound of the strong winds which were here during the day, only to learn the sound of the crashing waves is endless.  The balcony off of the bedroom and accessible from the living room has a remote controlled motorized screen that lowers to decrease the effects of sun, heat, and wind.  The Mahana Resort has a concierge who is an agent for Expedia.  She is well informed about available excursions with reduced rates when booked by her.  I scheduled some excursions with her, but mainly wish to enjoy the sun and the beach and the pool.  I walked the beach today at great length and spent time in the pool and the sun.  I have been able to view whales from my balcony.  When the tsunami came recently, the whales moved farther out into the ocean.  Just in the last couple of days the whales have appeared much closer to shore.
