Whale watching off the coast of Maui – check. Snorkeling off the coast of Maui – check. Doing them both on a $3.5 million catamaran – priceless. So it’s clear to me that we have been given opportunities and adventures of a lifetime while we are on this trip, but this exceeded my expectations ten-fold.
It is interesting to me that a couple would buy a boat worth $3.5 million and that it took 3 years to build the boat. More interesting to me is that they lease it out to select groups almost daily. I would be terrified that some tourist would mess up my boat! However, the other side of the coin is this: who would know and/or appreciate your investment if you don’t share it with complete strangers?! I for one am glad they share.
Today was a beautiful day with wonderful weather. It even pales last night’s dinner which was hosted at a $13 million home. (That’s not a misprint.) The home is owned as a second home by a couple that vacation in Hawaii two weeks a year, so they felt that it was prudent to have a home here. They evidently didn’t feel it was a good idea to be without EVERY amenity offered in today’s world, including, but not limited to, an infinity edge swimming pool.
I believe that Hawaii is a beautiful place and a fabulous place to vacation, but this has certainly been the way to see it! What a great adventure so far, and more to come over the next 3 days. Aloha!
