Maui 2009: The Family

Posted in ThisNThat

We were blessed to spend one of our two weeks  with Fabio and Esperanza (AKA Dado and Dada), staying at the same property, two doors away!  They brought two couples with them, visiting from Colombia.  FUN was the operative word!

Good times snorkeling...

Dado and Dada...


Amigos de Colombia...Alejandro, Isabel, Roberto, Albalucia


We had a feast one night.  Tons of food...

David and Fabio grilling the meat...

Dada and the spread...

What do Colombians do when they get together? They SALSA!!!

Isabel stood on a ottoman to dance with David :)



Lovely Miss Shannon, Uncle Paul's beloved...

The group sans moi (someone had to take the picture...)

The group with me (Isabel took the shot)

One night, after dinner with John and Ann, we were all walking at Whaler's Village, and outdoor shopping mall.  They had a hula show and we noticed a familiar figure on the stage...


Every time we visit Maui, we also get to visit Shannon's family.  They are such wonderful people, and we are blessed to have them as friends.  Carol always goes above and beyond, making an incredible dinner, and opening her home with loving 'hookipa' (hospitality.) 

The boys adore Nick.  We will miss this Army-bound young man...

The sistahs...(Shannon and 'A'...)

The mamas...me and Carol

The papas....David and Cowboy

The lovely couple, Uncle Paul and Shannon...

On our last full day on Maui, we spent the late afternoon with Paul and Shannon.  Paul took us to the beach where he practices on an outrigger canoe team.  This is their boat...
