Transition to Molokai!

We left for the Maui airport EARLY this morning and caught a flight to Molokai... We hadn't been here before, so we weren't sure what to expect. But for those of you who haven't experienced this island - you need to try it.

This island is still very remote - the airport is a blast from the past (get off the plane, walk a few steps to the rental car station, and next, they bring your bags to a coned off area.) We drove to our hotel and were delighted... It's a "small luxury hotel" of the world and this is definitely the way to go. There is not much at all to do on this island (except of course, enjoy the remote feeling, beaches, mule rides, and diving/snorkeling) but this hotel creates its own activities, etc.. It's a huge ranch, straight out of an old western, but much, much nicer! We spent the morning/early afternoon by the infinity pool and then enjoyed dinner here and listened to the piano player tonight...

Later, Joe and I went and watched the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie, just up the street (at what I am SURE is the only source of what we call "entertainment" on the island.)

So... we don't know what tomorrow brings - probably a drive to the beach and the cliffs (which we hear are spectacular.)

Until later... Aloha! :-)
