Maui Day 1

We finally arrived in Maui. What a dream. Karen and I, a bunch of friends, no responsibilities staying at Rob and Lisa's Marriott resort (water front with a dream view). We had Karen's mom lined up to babysit all the monsters, then she had some last minute health problems. She's out. My parents were all set. A few hours before our flight out, my mom gets nailed by a car on her bike and ends up with a broken foot (both moms are okay). Sheesh, she's out. We were seconds away from canceling everything and my brothers all pulled together and insisted on making it all happen. They are the greatest ever. They're even keeping them all together the whole time. We feel so blessed to be here!

Wow! That IS lucky. That is the beauty of having a big family. Good for them... and especially good for you. Sorry about the moms. What a drag!
