We decided today was a no alarm clock day. I slept into the glorious hour of 7:11. Nina was, of course, already up. Perry was up about ten minutes later. Chris hopefully will be able to do what all the rest of us could not do … sleep.

Snorkeling in Molokini was quite fun. The boat left at 8 a.m. and cruised past a couple of whale pods on the way out. We were there about an hour. The water was cool and a bit rough, but we had a lot of fun. I think that the snorkeling in the Caribbean is better, however (and the water is warmer!). We then cruised back towards Maui south of where we are staying in Kihei where we went back into the water to swim with the turtles. I saw several and Nina had one swim alongside for a few minutes. They were pretty, large, and more plentiful than I had expected.

Then we came back to the apartment, packed things up, and went to the beach for the rest of the afternoon. The water was still pretty rough — there’s weather coming in sometime — but we still had a great time. Chris literally lived in the water the entire afternoon. We watched the sunset (and took lots of pictures) and then came back to the apartment to shower and clean up. Dinner at Tony Roma’s consumed the rest of the night.

Whale watching may be on the agenda today…. We’ll see!
