    That's great news. Here's hopes that a lot of people get the covid vaccine and the infection rate drops way down so shows like this can start up, again.

    2022 could be a blow out year on many levels. Everyone I know is booking trips and planning fun stuff for next year. If this happens, I’ll be there (unless the creek rises ...).

    OH, we can't wait to get back to Maui and our little bit of paradise. My brother and law and his wife are there now, for a month. I've got my 1st shot, the second 3/17. 2020, was a horrible year in so many ways, its time for some good stuff.

    I’m meeting with the hotel on Thursday to go over room pricing and a variety of other things. Tentatively it’s scheduled for Feb 18-20, 2022. The hotel has just completed several millions of dollars in renovations, so room pricing shall prove interesting, shall we say.

    All rooms and the main area completely redone. The bar/restaurant area is also much larger. Also, the huge outdoor veranda area is now indoors. We will offer this to the Legacy’s of the world who love large rooms (or anyone else who wants the biggest room) before considering a marketplace. Why? Well, finding and collecting from small time vendors is more of a challenge than one large vendor. But, we know the marketplace is something folks want, so we will see what happens.

    No idea...I could've sworn it was in an odd location (not where one would expect). Since I've never had a sip, it's not that.
