Hawaii for the Holidays

Sunup over Haleakala, first morning at Ma'alaea

We didn't get to Hawaii as scheduled on Christmas Day, due to snowstorms closing our DRO airport that morning.  Next day our dear friend John Orr shuttled Shannon and myself out at Oh-Dark Thirty for our flight to PHX and on to OGG (Kahalui, Maui).

My daughter Amelia and her Ritchhart clan met us there.  Gus had his own cancelled flight and flew in from LA later on the 26th.  Together we all proceeded to have a week of fun times in the warm sun.

Lots of beach time, of course

And pool time
