Christmas in Hawaii

I don't think I could ask for a better view while writing this post. I am sitting on my balcony looking out at the ocean with a drink in my hand. I am spending my Christmas and New Years in Hawaii with my family. We spent all Christmas Day travelling. My sister, brother in law and I left from Vancouver airport, while my mom, dad and brother left from Calgary. We all met up in Seattle and flew to Maui together. After flights being delayed in the morning we didn't have much of a layover in Seattle. 
Today was our first full day in Lahaina where we are staying. It's been a little cloudy and rainy which is alright with me since I got a cold the day before we left. It's been nice to have a day to rest and not be missing the sunshine. But this beats the weather back home in Vancouver where it has been snowing for the last couple weeks. Friends have said that they got even more snow today. There's no way I can complain about a little rain when it's still 24°C out and the rain is like a mist then anything. 
I am hoping that it is sunny tomorrow so I can go out snorkeling and not freeze my butt off when I come out of the water. Also I don't want to make my cold worse by swimming when it's a little chilly out. Resting today helped so much. I am definitely feeling better. Eating a ton of food probable helped too since I didn't eat much yesterday except airplane and airport food. As much as I love travelling spending hours in the airport is not that much fun. Especially when the gate you are at is in the tiniest area of the airport away from anything. But we made it safe and sound and I am extremely excited to see what adventures are to come in the next 2 weeks!!
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!!
