Every trip to Ka’anapali is the best trip, but this one, seriously, was the best of the best. Well, except for the getting there. Nine of us arrived at LAX all ready to hula but our airplane decided not to … Continue reading →

Good Morning, Maui.

Posted on August 15, 2015 by polloplayer

Posted on September 20, 2014 by polloplayer

Please Don’t Come to Ka’anapali.

Posted on July 27, 2013 by polloplayer

I’m sure you are witty, charming and attractive, but I don’t want to see you here at Ka’anapali. It’s already too crowded. There is no room for you. I do not want to share pool chairs, the Beach Walk or … Continue reading →
