Aloha Bruce at 75!!

Aloha!!! and my new favorite word, especially for my dad...MAHALO!  Happy 75th Birthday Dad!!
Wow!!! Great summary:
Getting off the ground in SLC proved to be an extraordinary challenge.  Siamak taking Bruce to the ER Sunday morning and us on a plane without the birthday boy did not feel right.  Sahar saving the day with her marriage certificate delivery and Siamak for being so organized making it easy for Sahar to find.  More Mahalo for the Rappaports for outfitting us with snorkle gear.  Every day was magical!!
Day 1: Great fun with Al and his kids on the beach at Ka'anapali, then we hit the pool and great burgers on the BBQ followed by early sleep.  I made a great deal of fun of Al and Christine from reading Al's text at 8:15 bedtime the night before - uhh we didn't even make it to 8pm that 1st night and Siamak took a 3 hour nap!! He slept and my relaxed state was constant energy.
Day 2: Ioa Valley Rainforest Hike.  Beautiful and fun. then our trip to Costco with the most amazing Sashimi purchase of my life.  I think this was the Snorkle at blackrock too. Sunset on the deck with Sashimi, wine and fresh pinapple pizza.
Day 3: Finally mom and dad arrive! Mom came with us for another snorkle trip to black rock with Al, Christine and James and Leigh. What fun just to watch the kids play in the sand together, Setareh and Sia touched a sea turtle and absolutely amazing snorkling with my husband.
Day 4: Khadjenoury's take a snorkle trip to the Southern tip of Maui and LOVE the experience!! Finally Ari got to experience the underwater amazement. I loved that Setareh got a little freaked out at times. I was so relaxed and snorkled for 2 hours straight.  Then a long ride back for the rainy but memorable Luau.
Day 5: Whale Watching!!! Pacific Whale Foundation Whale watching was incredible!!! Incredible!!!  We missed mom but glad she got some rest.  More fish Tacos for dinner.
Day 6: Move to the Hyatt - Beautiful and everyone finally got properly Leid! Beach with the whole family was an amazing highlight of the day.  The pool was incredible and followed by a most magnificent dinner! More MAHALO!!!
Day 7: Epic poolside day before the airport. Boogie boarding with Setareh and walking on the beach with Sia absolutely incredible.  I am only sad that my parents were under the weather for this most amazing adventure.
Home and jet lagged.
