today sucks. not because it's monday. but because it's dec. 14th and one of the MBA programs I applied to released it's decisions.
and i did not get positive feedback.
so, instead of wallowing about this, since it's pointless and i'll just eat a lot of food and get fat even before the holidays are here, we're going to lanai!
lanai is one of the islands of hawaii
there are only 3 hotels on the entire island, and two of them are four seasons resorts.
hubby and i honeymooned on lanai (among other islands).
we stayed at the gorgeous Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Koele.
and because i was so enamored with the place, i totally forgot interior pictures.
but this is part of the property in the back.
when we got there, they gave us fresh-squeeze pineapple juice. it was delicious. of course. they had fruit in the lobby and i grabbed an apple on our way out to explore. i mean, i guess it could be said that i have a small head (but i'm kind of short, so it's totally proportional). but this apple was gigantic. i didn't stand a chance.
what i loved was that from one of the small hills, you could see Molokai.
we did also visit the other Four Seasons resort and went snorkeling there. while i was resting, hubby was out trying to get close to the dolphins. yes, that speck in the middle is a dolphin.
there's a lot to do on the island, tiny as it is. we didn't do it all and what we did actually partake in, we don't have lots of photos. but still, i can think back to it and see it very clearly in my mind. one particular restaurant was great (and amazingly, not connected to four seasons, though those were all wonderful too). the Lanai City Grille, part of the one other hotel on the island, Hotel Lanai. not only were the portions generous, but it really was delicious. i can still remember that i had pork chops. with a pureed vegetable. and greens. there was garlic.
we drove on this red-dusted road to get to the Garden of the Gods (Keahiakawelo).
so named because to rocks bring to mind god-like images. fields of this. some had much bigger boulders.

the view of Manele Bay, where we were snorkeling. ahh, lanai was a beautiful island.
