(This is my entry into the TOP 5 contest suggested by Jo-Ann Smith.)

It's your wedding anniversary, and you want to celebrate a whole lot of years together, so what do you do? This year we treated ourselves to a trip to a Maui resort - the Maui Prince Hotel in Makena. It was a first for us, to stay at this swank hotel, and we had a great time. I would highly recommend treating yourselves to something like this on any special occasion. Here's my top 5 list, to enjoy the experience.

Maui Prince Hotel - Makena Maui Hawaii

 

 

 

 

#1 - Check-in to the resort as early as you can. Park the car and don't go anywhere. If you arrive earlier than the normal check-in time, just ask if your room is ready, and you might be happy to know that it is. I requested a quiet room, and we got a really nice ocean view room with lots of privacy. It was very quiet - all we heard were the birds!

#2 - Go to the beach and relax. Turn off the cell phone. Go swimming. Get some sand in your swim suit.

 

 

 

 

drinks by the pool - Makena resort Maui

 

 

 

 

#3 - Have dinner and drinks at the resort. There are so many options, why go anywhere else? We ate the award winning Prince's Court and had the steak and lobster combo... I can't believe it was so good for only $30. I think that's a secret that should be let out. I also can't believe I didn't take my camera... haha... must have been the poolside Margaritas that made me forget.

#4 - Enjoy a romantic sunset by the ocean. This was taken from the golf course where there's a new development being built. Nobody else was around.

#5 - Get room service breakfast - that way you can sleep in and you don't have to bother getting dressed to eat.  Lounge around and enjoy the room.  Go back to the beach for another swim before check-out.

 

That's how we spent this past weekend to celebrate 79 years of marriage.  I would say this was one of my Top 5 anniversary events of all time.

Now, how can I get back to that resort to spend a few more nights.....

Hi Georgina...And I thought I was getting up there in years.  You must be a good 24+ years older than me.  So lets see, maybe 95 or older.  My mom is only 91.

Tomorrow Jim and I will celebrate our 16th anniversary....that's right on Independence Day.  Wrote a post about that.

Sorry to say we won't be waking up at the Mauri Prince Hotel.  Instead we will be waking up looking at Lake Anna.  Maybe I'll get some good photos of that tomorrow.

Years ago, I believe it was 1977 or 1978 we (my three children and their dad plus me) spent a week in Oahu and a week in Maui.  We all loved Maui.  The two of you have reason to celebrate every day.

Congratulations on 29 years and an early happy 79th.

Hi Again...What makes the water look the way it does in the first photo?  It is very interesting.

Kathleen

P.S.  Did you fill the ocean with champagne?  Sure looks like bubbles, that is flat bubbles.  Now that doesn't sound quite right.  Hard to picture a flat bubble.

Kathleen - Happy Anniversary to you too!  I was in the water, and there were small waves making the surface uneven like that.  Do you realize that it's 30 years since you've been over here?  That was my first trip - 78.  Maybe we bumped into each other at the airport... remember how small it used to be?

Georgina, seventy nine years?  Now, who do you think you're fooling? Better not let your husband read this.

Sounds like you had a wonderful time and what a great deal you got on dinner!  No more drinks for you, girl.

Hi Amanda - you're lucky to be coming to Mau in October - will that include Halloween?  You MUST go to Lahaina for that, but book a room now before they are sold out.
