1. Lack of assigned seats prior to arriving at the airport.
2. Incredible lack of space on the airplane for a 10 1/2 hour fight.
3. Stepping out of the shower the first afternoon to discover there were NO TOWELS. (I know….I should have checked before I got into the shower!)
4. The mirror on the bathroom door was never cleaned, and the light on my side of the bed needed a new three-way bulb. (I KNOW…..I should have told housekeeping.)
5. Parking in Lahina and Ka’anapoli is a joke.
6. The restaurant where we ate after the wedding, needed to be more realistic about how long it would take ONE waiter to take the orders for 21 people. At the very least, two waiters should have been taking care of our group, and four would have been even better. When the food came from the kitchen, four of them handled delivery, and were very confused about where most of the plates were going.
7. Sunday night, when we landed at L.A. we overheard the pilot informing his superiors that he would NOT be flying the same plane on the next leg of our journey. Apparently, the plane was having rudder problems. Hmmmmmmmm……actually…this should have been entered under “The Good.” Any pilot who wants to save my life can’t be bad.
Okay, compared to “The Good,” you can see that I really had to work to find something bad in this trip. It was an exceedingly glorious visit, and I really hope to get the chance to go again.

There are a truly amazing number of people who don’t give a rip what they look like in a bathing suit. Now, I should tell you that I am a plus size woman. I have always thought that it would be a disservice to the world to be seen in a bathing suit…..even one that managed to suck me in and cover me up. But, I can honestly say that I looked fine compared to some of the beached whales I have seen on vacation.
There’s something really odd in the vacationer’s mentality. They seem to leave their fashion sense at home. I saw women in the oddest outfits. Those who normally have a realistic idea about what looks good on them will wear see-through “cover-ups” that were meant for 16 year olds. And a pareau or sarong was really meant for a well proportioned woman. Just because it wraps around you doesn’t mean it looks lovely.
We have just returned from a trip to Maui, and this is one of the very few things I can complain about, so you have to know that trip was awesome!
If we call out the fashion police, I’ll have to diet before I can return. Actually, that’s not a bad idea, and a LOT of incentive, because Maui is lovely. I hope each of you gets to experience it.
