Luggage.... check!

One step closer to seeing this view again!
My plan was to wait until "Black-Friday" to buy luggage; we have NONE and thought it might come in handy for traveling to Maui.
Well THANK YOU Ebags.com! I was able to purchase $1734.00 worth of luggage today for a total of $345.92! That is 80% off!!! Yay!!!!
This was a big ticket item that I was nervous about finding, I did not want to settle for a cheap set that might only make it through one trip. I found a Samsonite Carry-On spinner with a bonus Laptop bag for 75.00! (regular 400.00) I also found a 3 pc set of Nautica Spinners for 112.00 (regular price 1149.00). With the awesome prices I was able to add on Ebag's packing cubes in a variety of sizes! 
I am so excited, Black Friday shopping complete and I am still in my P.J.'s!
If you read this today and are in need of luggage these deals are pretty outstanding and I was glad not to be fighting crowds on my day off.
Let see... what to do next. I think when the luggage arrives I will begin placing all the items in the bags that I have on hand and are on my packing list. It will be awesome to start preparing in advance.
I will start two new lists, one with items in the bags and one with items not yet packed.
Oh happy Day!

Where to begin?
In 95 days Bruce and I will be landing on Maui for our first EVER real vacation! I like to think of it as the honeymoon we never had) 2014 is our 25th anniversary year and I am planning on us having the time of our lives!
I honestly can't wait to meet Maui B. & Maui T.!
We have had a resort booked for almost a year, Kaanapali Beach Club! Over the past two months we now have booked our flights, rental car and an additional nights stay at Days Inn Maui Oceanside in Kehei. (I sort of bought us an extra day by booking or flight in a day early ;) )
We will be booking the Discover Lanai trip with @Trilogy Excursions, golf for B. at Kapalua Plantation Course and at Pukulani. We are now adding in at B.'s request, ziplining! We will most likely book with Pi'iholo, it sounds beautiful, not quite as long as some of the others and we can go side-by-side! I am a little terrified but B. has a way of getting me past my fears, I think it will be awesome!
We are planning to snorkel alot on this trip so I need to conquer my fear of the mask as well, this will be a good "getting to know me" trip as I don't want to miss out on anything because of fear, I want to just go for it!
I am starting this blog now for one, to learn how to use it with my Kindle and phone do I can blog from Maui, and two, to help me get thru the next 3 months of waiting.
