Tripster and Golfin' Widow


I made mention of a convertible Mustang which "in keeping with the theme" was as blue as the Pacific but I didn't get to the part about the date. 
First, I can say this was Ron's Best Vacation Ever cuz he learned how to golf.  He has always wanted to do this but never really kept score and I was along for the second nine on the first part of the week and The Plantation 18  Kaanapali Golf on the last part of the week and WOW.  The first part of the week it was hard to watch.  I mean Ron looked like it was painful.  He wasn't (I can say this now) even attractive.  Something CLICKED!   Actually it was someone.
This person made Ron look attractive to me again while "swinging". . .Thanks Mr. Bill!!!
No, not this Mr. Bill  but the other Mr. Bill who actually gets all the credit.  (LOL! I am having fun here)

So I have concluded I will probably loose RJ this Spring to the "Links".  He seems to now really enjoy golfing and although I don't quite get the "Thrill" I do believe he is at a point where "All Work and no Play" can end. So as long as he comes home every night he can get new clubs and a membership.


I guess the abundance of golf put Ron in a Date Day mood and on February 4th 2011 we lunched at
 Mama's Fish House and headed for Hana City.  Per the tour book which goes like this, "The Road To Hana-Maui's  most scenic highway is called "The worlds most beautiful drive." This is a very long curvy road that demands many stops to enjoy the fabulous Hawaiian scenery.  It takes all day to go both ways. Hana Highway is an adventure through tropical rain forests with the ocean on one side and thundering waterfalls, fragrant ginger and fruit laden guava trees on the other.

Now I soon realized I was in for the ride of my life...I don't do heights well. . . had already nix the helicopter ride and most of this road is one lane.  Kept my elbow in the car or risked road rash from the cliff.  The most posted road sign was "Watch for Falling Rocks."  Remember I'm topless as in CONVERTIBLE! 
There were 55 bridges and 600 hairpin turns.  We did walk thru a rain forest, bought a kona wood tortoise and  sunset barn photo...I wore a real moo-moo Blue Ginger  Thank God: Ron got us off the road before dark!
Had a super Date Day and I was thinking pontooning this summer will be moo-moo fitted!  This will surely scare the Minnesota natives!
