We stayed at the Schooner Resort in Lahaina. The suite was lovely and the pool and other amenities where nice. Everything was prefect except of one small incident. The cleaning staff lost my swimsuit during our room change mid stay (we were there for two weeks). Management kindly refunded me. I had to swim in my shorts. It all worked out OK.
On the first morning after a walk to along the beach by the resort in Waipuilani Park. Then we drove to Kealia Pond to look for indigenous birds. I got two of them there. I didn’t notice any Hawaiian ducks there.
I was astonished to see what appeared to be Black-necked Stilts there. I looked them up, and sure enough; they’re a subspecies of the stilts that are so common here. They’re one of my favorite birds. I recognized the genus of the spider, too — also a relative of the ones here. My favorite photo is of the water rushing out around the rock — just lovely.

Not bad at all. My hip injury overshadows Lyme now. It is all manageable.
