Our second excursion was
Trilogy's Discover Molokini tour. Again, we lucked out with a beautiful sunny day. And, again, Trilogy offered coffee and pineapple juice upon boarding and homemade cinnamon rolls and fruit shortly after setting sail. For this tour, however, lunch was served onboard during our return trip, which was challenging. Eating off plates while the boat is violently slapping waves is nearly impossible. A handheld wrap would have been a much better idea.

On our way to Molokini, we stopped at Turtle Town
off the southern coast of Maui. Ironically, we saw no turtles. |

Not many fish were found near Molokini,
but the water was incredibly clear. |
All-in-all, the snorkeling part of this tour was a bust. However, we simply enjoyed being on the water and were thrilled to discover we still don't get sea sick.
I thought I'd slip in some condo shots at this point. It was our first time using VRBO and we were happy with the outcome. You can find interior shots of our condo
here. My only warning would be about air conditioning. Coming from muggy St. Louis, a priority for us was to have air conditioning. The unit owner confirmed air conditioning, but then told us after our final payment it needed to be shut off at 10:00 P.M. due to the complex's ruling about noise. Fortunately, we got a nice breeze and only used the window unit a few hours our first day. But I'm not sure how this would work in July or August.

A few steps from our unit was an observation deck for enjoying the tropical breezes, water views, sunrises, and sunsets. It was also a great place to just relax.

Unfortunately, there was not enough
time to do more of this. |
