Here's part two of my fabulous trip!
 |
Here’s our room at the Four Seasons Resort Lana’i at Manele Bay. Notice how I placed my welcome lei on my bedside lamp. That is one of my favorite ways to make a hotel room feel more homey. And Yes (!) the bed is so big—it should have its own zip code.

Pay no attention to the woman in front of the curtain. It’s not one of my fave pics, but check out that background. That was essentially the view from our room at the Four Seasons. The nationally protected cove area has some of the best snorkeling on the Hawaiian islands and is home to a super friendly pod of flashy Spinner dolphins.

Check out my happin’ T, which I totes adore. I scored it at the Pacific Whale Foundation in Lahaina on Maui. In addition to big group snorkeling excursions and whale watches, the org’s mission is “to promote appreciation, understanding and protection of whales, dolphins, coral reefs and our planet’s oceans.” And while I wasn’t a fan of my half-day crowded snorkeling adventure, I really believe in what they stand for. So I picked up this bad boy and the proceeds go toward saving the whales—literally.

Novio and I mastered the one-handed shot. And look how he’s representing the best team in the world!

Trilogy Excursion’s Captain Mike and his first mate Martin took us on a private sunset cruise around what’s called Sweet Heart Rock by the white folk. After chasing dolphins and spotting literally 50 whales, we just floated in silence.
 |
No, that’s not Mars. It’s the Garden of the Gods on Lana’i. You can see Oahu, Molokai and Maui from up here.
 |
This was one of our fave spots. The old-school missionary church is all alone in the middle of the jungle. P.S. The Lana’i only has 30 miles of paved road, so a Jeep really was the only way to get around.
