question:
I wanted to plan a trip to visit my Dad in Maui so decided to go over Thanksgiving because I could stay for longer and would not have to use as many vacation days. I confirmed with him that the dates were OK and started looking at airfare. The best prices I could find consisted of two layovers and included an overnight flight but I was willing to suffer a little bit to save a few hundred dollars. After I booked my flight I gave my Dad the information and he said he would schedule some days off to spend with me. I did some research on things I would like to do in Maui and decided I wanted to go whale watching and possibly snorkeling if the weather was nice. Dad made the reservations since he gets a discount as a resident. I also found some restaurants that I wanted to try. I thought about if I needed to buy anything before I went and decided to pack light and purchase essentials there to not risk my bag getting lost. The trip went as planned and was very relaxing and beautiful. 
Question: Why did they choose the location they did?
answer:
it is where their dad lives

But , I wanted to leave a quick post just saying that I haven't abandoned this already - I just really haven't had much time to write anything . Hopefully I will have time to sit down and recount some of the events of this past month . Until then , I wanted to make an addition to my list of celebrity sightings that I completely forgot about ( which is odd since it is the most recent one ) .
