Last Saturday Breakfast for Term # 6

This being our final Saturday, it only made sense to head down to Gannons for breakfast. We took two new first time volunteer couples, one from North Carolina and the other from Kitchener, Ontario. The couple from NC we find out, have actually been reading this blog for a while, since they stumbled upon it while researching the Haggai ministry. The Kitchener couple (AJ & Jody) are unique by their age, as you might detect from the picture. They were introduced to Haggai by an aunt who resides in Cambridge, who is also here & in the picture and is currently serving as the volunteer ladies supervisor. AJ, is taking over my duties as the "rotational guy" so I have got to know him a bit. Both he and Jody grew up in Fergus. When I introduced him to Dion,our dining room caterer, and asked if he noticed anything different in this new volunteer, Dion said "besides the hair". Good job I have thick skin, eh! Once again at breakfast we had a georgeous Maui morning weatherwise.

We stopped by the Grand Wailea Hotel on our way home today, for the newcomers to check out the lobby, etc. This hotel rents rooms for up to $1,200 per night, and is considered the granddaddy & #1 destination in all of Maui. Surprisingly, it and the Ritz Carleton, located near Kapalua, which also rents rooms in the same price range, are both in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. There may be a message in all this!

We only have two days of work left next week, and leave for home Thursday around noon. Our trip home takes us through Los Angeles and JFK in New York, which should be interesting.

It is getting to feel like it is time to go home.
