Saturday, Doom's Day...

Well, Saturday came and went quite quickly, thankfully.  We were up by six am, but keep in mind we fell asleep at five the previous night after an exhausting day fishing! Yes, that is 13 hours of sleep!  We were so tired we didn't even move from the couch to our bed...and I would have to say it was one of the best nights of sleep I have had in some time. Well worth it!  Saturday we didn't have any real plans again, with the only real one being able to watch the Cyclones play in the afternoon.  We spent the morning eating yet more cinnamon rolls on the lanai (deck), and then stopped and rented Ted some snorkel gear so he could do some snorkeling on the beach while I worked on my UV glow.  After a few short hours it was time to pack up, grab some grub from the 808 deli (yes, I talk about food a lot in here...so what...I'm pregnant and always eating!), and away we went back to the condo. Sandwiches were quite impressive, considering how inexpensive they were relative to prices for food on the island.  We even managed to pair it with some tasty pasta and potato salad from the deli.  Scrumptious!  Lunch was over, showers were had, and it was time to break out the cyclone gear.  Before the game started, I let it be known to Ted I didn't have a good feeling about the game, and my sixth sense proved to be true yet again. Darn Clones!  I guess the Iowa game will be anyone's ball game.  The rest of the afternoon wasn't anything special, we again played it slow and just spent some time driving south down the coast by our place.  The fancy resorts, golf courses, and the ritzy titzy folks must all stay in this area!  Beautiful landscaping and plenty of green grass to go with.  We made a stop at a beach to watch the sunset and made our way back home.  Along the way, Britt spotted two deer on the golf course and we were amazed to find out there are quite a few around. 
Interestingly enough, the deer were introduced to Maui island in the 1950s as part of a post World War II veteran  hunting opportunity. Since the deer have no natural predators on the Hawaiian islands, their population is actially growing 20 to 30 percent each year is what I've read on Wikipedia!  Britt will be certain to keep her eyes open in the next few days!
Other than that, we can't recall any other pertinent items from Saturday as it was really just a laid back day!
