Back from Paradise

[Orion21]

Hola or should I say Aloha to everyone on FOH! I just returned from 9 days in Maui, Hawaii and wanted to share my experience with the great people here on FOH. Ever since finding out that my wife was pregnant with our second child towards the end of last year we had wanted to plan a blow out trip as a "babymoon" of sorts. We brought our 17 month old little boy and were accompanied by my brother and sister-in-law, who were awesome and watched our little guy most of the trip so that we could enjoy Hawaii without having to constantly run after a baby who runs and does not walk.

The view I woke up to every morning Blessed!

The Four Seasons Wailea Breakfast Buffet - Just DO IT!

Monkeypod Kitchen Mai Tai, insane. That is pineapple foam on top of local light and dark rum mixed with fresh juices . . .

Date Night with the Wife at Ferraro's. The sun just dipped behind the clouds.

So I only packed Monte GE's for the trip?! Don't judge me The one I did find the mind to snap a picture of in between thoughts of just selling everything and becoming a beach bum . . . But then I realized how would the Czar know where to mail my cigars All Monte GE's were good to great (there's my review)

After figuring out that no matter how often you reapply level 8 sun tan lotion to pasty white skin you will get severely sunburned -- this life saving cabana became my sanctuary.

And finally, because blowing all of my Fat Bastard weight loss on Mai Tais, Lava Flows and Breakfast Buffets weren't enough -- Final Maui Dinner. 20oz bone in ribe eye at Tommy Bahama's, worth all 4,500 cents it cost . . .

Mahalo

Great trip and pics. That brings back great memories as my wife and I honeymooned at the Four Seasons Maui. Spectacular!

Congrats on baby # 2. Sounds like a great babymoon. Gives me a great idea as my wife and I work on our second child as well.

Mahalo!

Thanks for the responses everyone. When I was smoking my cigars I kept thinking of a plan Riaz and I talked about a while back, that if anyone of use won the lotto we would fly everyone out to the Czar deck and enjoy a week of partying with Rob and crew...well I have added Maui to the agenda as well. I'll keep playing and hopefully someday our tickets will be booked and our bags will be packed!

Totally awesome, Aaron. Congratulations once again to you and your wife on your soon to be baby #2. Great idea to slip away for some R&R before things get busier and I don't doubt that you had a blast over in Maui. It's a beautiful place.
