Stockwells return to Maui, never to leave again. One year of Northern California weather was enough. 37 degrees and rain on Christmas, receiving heavy socks and sweat shirts as gifts, convinced me that we'd left heaven and ended up in the bad place. Waiting for our new digs to close, we spent 10 days at the Fairmont Kea Lani. If you are not aware of it, the Kea Lani is a PET FRIENDLY resort and the staff was extremely friendly to our Maltese Anna, the second light of our lives. Markus, our grandson being number one. Our smiling frisky companion couldn't scamper 20 feet without someone wanting to take her picture. This really added to the fun of staying there. We could have rented her out to guests missing their doggies. As we sauntered through the lobby, leash in hand, the staff would say "hi Anna". I really wanted to rename her 'Princess Kea Lani', which means 'heavenly white' in Hawaiian. I've photographed numerous weddings at the Kea Lani, and it was pure luxury to be there as a guest.
