Results Negative!

 I started the day by attempting to set up a patient account with Clincal Labs Hawaii for the purpose of accessing our COVID-19 test results.  Unfailingly, this effort failed I think because there was an entry for US SSN, which I didn't have.  The last message was "unable to verify you identity".  With that, it was off to Maui Nui for our fifth and final round of golf.  While this course is nothing special, it worked out very well for our foursome with an average cost of ~$65 per round.  That done, we decided it was best to return to Menehune Shores to see if we could sort out the lab results.  On the way, we stopped in at Tamura's Liquor store to see if they had anything we couldn't get along without.  Turns out they did, and I picked up a bottle of the Yamazaki, which I had been coveting since Kyoto.  Back to chasing COVID, and in typical fashion, nothing was straight forward and after many phone calls and emails it was clear to me that I needed to email passports and signatures to help@hawaiilabs.com.  But wait, Matthew found another phone number to try and low and behold, he spoke to a different person who was able to provide all of our "accession" numbers which circumvented the need to "verify" identities.  Nevertheless, even with the necessary access codes, the results were all still pending.  Karen prepared a lunch for the Lanai which staved of the luhi, pōloli and make wai situation.  Off to the pool to catch some rays.  Later in the afternoon we received our test results which were all negative, overcoming the final hurdle to get us on the plane home.  We went out for a refreshing dip in the fish pond and checked out the whale interpretive center next door.  Even Karen was willing to wade out into the ocean.  While wading, we noticed that the an arribada of green sea turtles had entered the pond and were sunning on the rocks and sandy beach.  There were a lot of them of varying sizes with several young uns.  As the afternoon waned, we got ourselves cleaned up and set off to the Hotel Wailea Bird Cage for a sunset cocktail and then  down to the Andaz Maui hotel where Myles had made a reservation at the Iron Chef Morimoto's restaurant.  We settled into our poolside table for perhaps the best dining experiences ever.  Capped off a great day in Maui by relaxing over a nightcap on the Lanai overlooking Maalaea Bay.
