06-19-2026 Walks

This was an overall quiet day. We had talked about going north and exploring beaches and towns but ended up hanging around the Airbnb for much of the day. Was okay for me, but I would have liked a little more tourist stuff together on our last day. Had a couple of breakfasts but no coffee. After lunch we walked north on Kihei Rd to get shave ice at another place from last time. It was good, not quite as good as the previous time. I walked with the others back to the complex and continued south to the ABC store to buy some stamps. It was pretty warm but not hot. Did feel good to be in the shade when I returned. I read a lot on this day, Jonathan Gould's Burning Down the House. It is quite thorough and well-written so far. In the late afternoon Ann and I walked down to the beach for the last time this trip. There were a bunch of open water swimmers there along with the regular beachgoers. Back to the Airbnb, where the two of usade story fry and microwaved potatoes for dinner, trying to clean some of the food out of the refrigerator. Packing after dinner and more reading until we were all ready to head to the airport at around 8:15. This is a dark island at night, not so many streetlights on roads or highways. Got gas on the way and made it to the rental car center with no issues. Car checked in and to the gate with no problem other than my boarding pass didn't have TSA Pre-check. Not a big deal at this airport and this time, although I don't know why.
