Napili Seahouse
We (four couples) went for breakfast today to the "Seahouse" which is in the Kapalua area, the west end of the island and about a one hour drive from where we stay. Kapalua is known for the golf course where they play the "Mercedes Benz Open", one of the first major golf tournaments of the year. The restaurant gets it's name as it sits right on the sea, and it was a beautiful morning with a couple of whales even putting on a show for us. This is the area where the Ritz Carlton hotel is located, one of the more exclusive on the island and we did a walk through after breakfast.
Hawaii held their Presidential caucus' last Tuesday and Barrack Obama out polled Hilary Clinton by 4/1! Hilary had sent Chelsea her daughter to campaign last weekend, but it didn't seem to have much impact. Obama sent a sister. One of the two State Senators had also endorsed Hilary. Obama was born here but hasn't lived in Hawaii for many years.
The couple who organize the volunteers are in Atlanta this week at the Haggai annual meeting and Marlene and I were asked to meet a new volunteer couple at the airport on Wednesday evening. Their flight was due in at 10:35, but was 45 minutes late so we had a wait at a very quiet airport. There was a young lady waiting with us and she was wearing an old Toronto Maple Leaf sweater. I told her it must be a hard year to be a "leaf" fan (another one) and we struck up a conversation. She was waiting for a friend on the same flight. She grew up in Woodstock, but now works in Alberta as an RCMP officer. She and her friend were just starting a two week vacation. So by the time we got our couple and their luggage and got back to Haggai, it was a late evening.

Hi Ralph and Marlene
You will have to get matching Toronto Maple Leaf Sweaters for next year promoting tourism to Toronto/Ontario.Do they know much about hockey there? Glad to hear you are getting in some travel time as well.
