Status of Construction (by Mary M.):

Hi Dan:

I didn't take any pictures of the new building or pool, but the pictures presented by the Marriott are pretty accurate.

The new building is set much further back from the beach than the existing, so there is a large rolling, open lawn from the building to the beach and walkway. With your back to the beach, facing the building, the pool is to the right (well back from the beach) and is hardly visible. As I mentioned, it is small.

One thing I noticed is that the residents in the new building will be using the main entrance and check in. Not sure if this will create a crowding situation...it might.

The gas was $2.85 in Paia, where we refueled (went to Mama's Fish House").

I truly envy you! You really need more than a week to see the sites. For what it's worth, we had a great time at "Cheeseburger In Paradise" - upstairs at the small bar. The bartender Chris was the best - we went there a few times - and the cheeseburgers were the best I have ever had! Maybe it was the Maui air and sunset!

Have a great time!

Mary
