We are finishing our second of four weeks on Maui. Our first week was spent at Maui Schooner, which is a very nice resort in a great location. However they were resurfacing the pool deck so the pool was closed the entire week. Every morning at 7:30 am the jackhammers started outside our ground floor unit. After four days the cement truck parked outside our bedroom around the same time and rumbled away, all day. When the pool resurfacing was finished and I prayed for some morning quiet, an arborist came along and spent the day chopping branches from a tree on the property and chipping them all. I chalked it up to bad luck.
Then we moved to the Sands of Kahana, into a lovely unit on the 4th floor with ocean glimpses. Every morning, starting just after 6, a series of garbage and recycling trucks come along and pick up stuff. The sound of glass bottles pouring into a truck bed outside our bedroom window is not exactly my idea of a tropical paradise.
Then the lawnmowers, weed whackers and leaf blowers start up. This morning they are mowing a small patch of lawn under our bedroom window, exactly where they mowed yesterday! It makes no sense!
Our usual routine while on vacation is to have a leisurely morning drinking coffee reading our online newspapers, then heading out around noon to explore the sights. On this trip we are up by 7, out the door by 8:15, and we don't dare come back until after 4 or so.
Oh and did I mention the construction at the resort next door to us? You guessed it, jackhammers rule there too.
We have vacationed a lot on Kauai and the Big Island, and haven't been to Maui since the early '90's. What a disappointment! Is it just me or does Maui have no noise bylaws at all? Just wondering...
