Back to Ka'anapali

Just over one year later we find ourselves back at the Westin Villas in Ka'anapali. This time we are staying in the north villas in a studio with ocean view. The difference between the north and south villas is that the studios in the north have full walk out balconies compared to the Juliet balconies in the south. The room has all the comforts you could want away from home - full small kitchen area, washer/dryer, jacuzzi tub, sitting area, and of course the heavenly bed. Our stay here was just as fun as last year minus our friends.

The weather has been great but it's been a little windy since moving to the northwest part of the island. Not complaining though because this is far better than back home!! We've been hanging out at Kahekili beach snorkelling before heading to the pool area in the afternoon, once we are tired of being sandblasted, to spend the rest of the day reading, snoozing and soaking up vitamin D. We've seen some cool fish which are plentiful and Z even got to see two turtles. I wasn't snorkelling at the time. Have to say the snorkelling right outside our resort is probably some of the best snorkelling on the island.

Staying true to our commitment to work out, Z has gone for a run along the boardwalk outside our hotel while I decided to use the try out the fitness centre and used one of their bikes; a 10k ride later I was feeling good but a little sore. I guess it takes a little time for the body to adjust after not having been to the gym for just over a month. The fitness centre here has everything one could need and while it's not quite the same as exercising outside you have a lovely view of the tranquil meditation area with lovely trees to look at.

Island life has been easy to get accustomed to. The pace here is slower and laid back. It's been great to have not a care in the world and the few times work has drifted into my thoughts, I've been able to quickly rid myself of those thoughts. In my world that's the perfect state of being when on vacation.
