Home from Hawai'i

We got home from our vacation late Tuesday. The trip was good, albeit with a little more rain than I cared for. Our first three days at the Four Seasons in Wailea were incredible. They upgraded us to a suite, and had so much stuff for Alex waiting for us that I couldn't believe it. A crib (with blue bedding), snacks, diapers, swim diapers, toys, basically anything he could possibly need. Having the suite made getting him to sleep sooo much easier. I would recommend the Four Seasons to anyone. They even found a (brand new) earring that I had lost!
We drove out to Hana on Saturday, and it poured the whole way. I was carsick for the entire (3 hour) drive, and when we got there, they had messed up our reservation! Our time in Hana was cursed, I swear. Everything that could go wrong, did. The Hotel Hana-Maui was supposed to be really nice, a luxury hotel (it was more expensive than the Four Seasons), but we didn't get great service there at all. Added to that Ron was sick the whole time, and it rained nonstop. I talked to the manager of the hotel after we got home, and he refunded one night for us, which was nice.
Once we got out of Hana and got to Waikiki, things started being fun again. Ron was feeling better, and we had a good time for the 24 hours or so that we were there.
Throughout the whole trip, Alex was a trooper. He was so good on both flights, and he loved all the new things that we did there. He's a great traveler!
