JOY TELLS ALL

THIS SHOULD actuaily be
datelined Hawaii because for
the past 12 days !’ve been
enjoying the ambience,
warmth and sunshine of the
island of Maui. And I’ve
returned a totally different
person.

I'm sporting a wonderful tan,
several blue bruises and a purple
cast! I left for my holiday on May
13 — Friday the 13th! Maybe that’s
how it all started.

My darling husband and I headed
off for the first time ever on Canada
3000. It was such a thrill just to have
him with me, and luckily, too, as it
turned out. { was impressed with
Canada 3000’s great service, good
food and a very helpful staff. First-
rate movies, too. It took six hours
and 20 minutes to reach Maui and
another hour to reach our ultimate
destination — a 472-luxury water-
front condominium called Kaanapali
Shores, two lights past Whaler’s
Village. The hospitable Jerry
Burrows is the GM and he said his
favorite visitors are Canadians ——
especially those from B.C.

In fact, the first person we met on

. the beach was Edna Fallon who
was born and lived most of her life
on West !2th in North Van. Her
husband Tom has just retired from
Deita Airlines and they’re now liv-
ing in California.

Life, it seems, is a series of co-
incidences. Our first dress-up dinner
in Maui was at the elegant Swan
Court in the Hyatt Regency. Lovely
tranquil setting with while swans
gliding about in a huge giided pool.
Amazingly, the handsome fellow
who manages the Swan Court is
Vancouver native Tim Lewis. Tim
grew up in Kitsilano where his par-
ents still live.

We had been searching for a
now-defunct Keg Restaurant that my
brother-in-law, West Van dentist

N.

Ivan Johnston, had established in
Maui along with West Van's Bill
Dunn and several investors, but f
couldn't remember where it had
heen. Turns out that before Tim
joined the Hyatt, he was part of that
same first Keg operation in the
Islands which opened in Lahaina
eight years ago and closed 26
months later.

As Hyatt singer-pianist Patricia
Watson, who is a close friend of
TUTS’ Chiff Cox, was performing,
one of the regulars rushed up fo her
saying that he'd just come back
from a business trip to — guess
where? — Vancouver, and he was
raving about an early-morning
breakfast that he'd attended the day
before saluting CKNW’s Bill
Hughes and his 15,000th broadcast
of the Roving Mike.

The fellow’s name was Robert
Richmond, a musical producer
who's organizing a giant benefit for
the Food Bank at Sophics
Restaurant called “Sophic’s
Remembered.”

We also dined at the splendi-
forous Four Seasons Wailea where
the General Manager is the youthful
and so-pleasant Peter O’Colmain.
He, toc, is a Vancouver fan. The
cuisine at the Four Seasons Wailea
perfectly matched the excellent
quality and selection that Ruy Paes-
Braga’s Vancouver Four Seasons
offers on a regular basis. And the
380-r00m hotel is so pretty, just per-
fect for sunset viewing!

While we ate-in mostly,
couldn't believe the cost of food.
We shopped at the Lahaina Cannery
Mall in the Safeway store there and I
was appalled at the prices! | paid a
whopping $2.64 for an iceberg let-
tuce, $2 dollars a pound for toma-
toes and $4 a pound for coffee — all
in American funds!

We also enjoyed a delightful din-
ner at the Royal Lahaina Ocean
Terrace where you can dance after
dinner. As I’ve always said dancing
is the best exercise in the world.
Well, right in the middle of a roman-
tic ballad, | felt something pop in
my right calf and couldn’t put my
heel down,

Oao, I was in pain!

My guy packed me out to the car,
carried me into the hotel and

-plunked me into a hot bath. The next

morning we went to the Maui
Medical Clinic.

Before I left Vancouver, Hyatt
GM Mark Andrew passed atong
his doctor-brother’s name at the
Maui Medical Clinic, just in case. |
tucked Dr. Curtis Andrew’s name .
into my purse, never thinking that
I'd ever have to use it. It was his
gentle and genteel associate, Dr. Joe
Harrison, who diagnosed a badly
torn muscle and wrapped the leg in
tensor bandages. (Small world! My

So now I'm sporting a rather
spiffy purple cast on my right leg, a
1,000-pound anchor that will hold
me down for the next month. Let the
phone ring a long time!

Maybe I should recuperate where
it happened— in Maui! I wish!
