NYC Christmas Time

December 5 - 10 

4th Week - Maui

 November 18-25

We have five days/nights in Maui before we return to Iowa for the Bauer Thanksgiving gathering.  When we first planned to go to Maui Don was planning to attend the Maui Classic BB games.  Due to the Lahaina fire, the games were moved to Oahu.  We decided to stay with our plan to go to Maui.  

Hello Maui
