Day Two - Settling In

Today we were treated to a Granddad Marvin tradition: Sunday brunches! The whole family met up at the Maui Prince hotel for a huge buffet brunch. The food was delicious as usual and the setting was very nostalgic (Jessi and I got married at the Maui Prince hotel 3 years ago!). Needless to say, the whole family was stuffed after that.

Jessi, Tony, Sally and I hosted happy hour. This is a family tradition where everyone gathers in someones unit to chat and play cards. I'm very pleased to say that I won the first game of Gin Rummy!

Every year we struggle to remember the recipe for our traditional Mar-Tais (Mai Tais made to my Granddad's exacting standards). This year we're writing the recipe down:

• 2 Cups Trader Vic's Mai Tai Mix


• 2-2/12 Cups Orange Juice


• 5-6 Cups Pineapple Juice


• 2 Cups Dark Rum


• 1 Cup White Rum


• Pineapple chunks


• Splash of marrachino cherry juice

Serve with pineapple chunks and a cherry.
