I’ve come to Maui to do a site inspection.

Three nights of intensive, grueling sampling of a deluxe, ocean-view bedroom and all the amenities at the brand-spanking new Andaz Resort in Wailea.

(I hear you already . . . sending absolutely NO sympathy!)

Funny enough, about 35 years ago, when I got my first inkling of the possibility of a career in the travel industry, I though maybe I could get a job as an airport greeter.

I could have been the girl in this photo!

And this:

So … if you were among the many back in the snow-bound, frigid northern U.S., or draught-plagued southwest who have no sympathy for me – you would be correct!

Aloha!
