Todd surprised me with a trip to see my good friend Jenna over Thanksgiving. Jenna was near the end of her two month Physical Therapy rotation in Maui, Hawaii. Thanksgiving morning I flew from Denver into Los Angeles and on to Kahului. Jenna picked me up and I changed out of jeans and sweatshirt into a halter dress and we headed to Mama's Fish House for Thanksgiving dinner. Instead of turkey this year I enjoyed Mahi Mahi stuffed with lobster and crab, baked in a macadamia nut crust. It was amazing!!!!!What a fun way to start a ten day vacation.

We had a wonderful ten days together. I was so lucky to see the entire island and all it had to offer. Some of the highlights included Saturday Farmer Markets, Haleakala (volcano), Shopping and dining in Paia, Hookipa Beach, Maui Tropical Plantation, Road to Hana, Wailea and Jenna's Christmas party at a resort in Lahaina.
