Happy Anniversary!!

Today, Marianne and I celebrate our 17th Wedding Anniversary by getting up extra early, packing up the rest of our belongings, checking out of the Kauai Beach Resort, a breakfast biscuit at McDonald’s and sitting at the Lihue Airport for about 90 minutes waiting for our flight to Maui.
But, how many people can say they celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary on TWO Hawaiian Islands 🙂
The Sheraton Maui Resort already has dinner reservations for us at the Black Rock Restaurant this evening to celebrate….

Saw the last morning sunrise over the ocean for this trip. The remaining nights on Maui and the Kona coast of the Big Island will be on the sunset sides of the islands…

Kauai Beach Resort by Aqua

image

This has been our third stay at this resort since August 2007. It is a very nice resort, nice rooms, beautiful grounds, etc.  It was formerly a Hilton property during our previous stays in 2007 and 2009. They were very recently acquired by Aqua, an Hawaiian based chain of properties.

The one thing that really irks me is the nickel & dime charges…  I just ha d to pay almost $9.00 just to access the web and print our boarding passes for tomorrow morning…  $0.49 per minute for internet access and $0.99 per page for B&W printouts (Color @ $1.99/page!!). Most resorts offer this service to their guests for free or a nominal charge for the printing only…

Oh, yeah, don’t forget the mandatory $13.95/day to park your own car ($16.95 for valet) and the optional $12.95/day for 1Mbps in room internet access (wired/wireless).

Just irks me, but we will be back…
