We have heard form many people who have lived here a long time that Maui will either embrace you or spit you out. So far Maui has embraced us with open arms and we have been very lucky every step of the way. Today we scored again and found a beautiful heavy, hand-carved, solid teak bed frame for a VERY good price, especially for the island. Furniture is very expensive here so we were super happy to be in the right place at the right time, again. We are also discovering how genuinely friendly and social people are on the island. The woman we bought the bed frame from was really nice and has offered to take us surfing at the beach near her house. When I say “near” I mean it’s literally her backyard.

Darlene also had her first job interview today. She put on her fancy clothes and interviewed for a part-time position at a big technology company. I’m sure she did very well.

We had to rent a truck because the bed is HUGE!

 

The new bed. I wanted to keep the truck, it was brand new and drove like a spaceship.

 

Darlene prepares a home cooked meal for us. Oh wait, it’s actually for our new friend…

 

Meow, I’m back.

 

Lightly seared Ahi tuna for Skunky. P.S. We ate frozen pizza this night.

 

Dinner is served Skunky!
