This morning, our waiter, Don, mentioned that the people with nametags wandering around the resort were attending an Anthony Robbins seminar. Essentially, most of these middle-aged people were trying to overcome obstacles in their life by "challenging themselves." Most were wearing pins with "I JUMPED IT" and "EAT THE POLE." At least it made for some interesting people watching!


The view from our lanai

Eric made reservations for us to play tennis this morning at 10am. After kicking people off our court, I think I played some pretty good tennis. Our court was next to two pro women warming up for their matches later in the day. We started out playing right at the net (I think to prevent me from injuring a pro tennis player) until I got comfortable enough to move to half court then full court. There must be something about Hawaii because I was hitting the ball darn well.

We finished after 45 minutes, then watched 2 pros play while cooling down on the grass right behind Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario. Eric noticed that "Arantxa" was stitched into her Reeboks. After a quickie shower we went snorkeling in the lagoon beach area of the hotel. Afterwards I laid out in the sun for a bit and managed to contribute to the sunburn I got this morning during tennis.
The habit of a buffet breakfast, snacks at noon (usually cookies), free hor d'oeuvres at 5pm followed by dinner at 6pm suits us well.
We went to dinner at Donatoni's (just below Kirin) on the water for another sunset and some great pasta. There was a little mix-up with the price but our waitress, Angel, easily fixed it. After dark we wandered around the resort and took some nighttime photos of various scenes on our side of the hotel. Back in our room, Eric caught up on some email and I tried to keep my journal current.
