Aloha 2020!!!

 Great day on New Year's Eve in Maui.  We started out with a light b'fast and loaded up a cooler for Maui Nui (a learned behaviour from the last round).  With everyone in much better sufficiency and with provisions on board, we tee'd off at 9:20 for a much more pleasant round of golf than our previous effort.  We used the "Players Card" which will prove to bring our average cost down materially if we play a couple more times.  After golf we decided to try the Maui Brewing Company which was just up the road a short way.  This proved a great idea, the food and beer were really outstanding and the outdoor eating area was an excellent feature.  It truly does take an entire day to play a round of golf if you include the 19th hole.  Enroute back to the condo included a "quick" stop at the Safeway for supplies.  Hopefully that will be the last of those.  Once all loaded up to the condo, the boys went for a walk down to Kenolio Beach Park along Kihei Road to grab some New Year's Eve supplies.  I decided to stroll down the beach in the same direction.  This proved to be a mistake as on the way back, I decided to ambulate around the rocky point on the water side.  This decision lead to a mishap where I lost my balance on some rock's and skinned my knees and shins.  Managed to keep my phone above water, but not much else.  Got back to the condo a bloody mess in time to help Karen carry some G&T's and beach towels down the beach in the other direction to meet the boys for a sunset viewing.  This was pleasant, including a smoke (no mean feat without a cutter and in the windy conditions).  After sunset, we were back to the condo for a pu pu platter and watching the fireworks from our Lanai.  This started at dark and continued ceaselessly until well past midnight with a crescendo right at the midnight hour.  All in all a full day.  No plan plan for January 1, 2021.
