YYJMSP, you got a complete white-out blizzard on Maui? :)
How about this?

A very nice view of the ocean! I love these balcony pictures of the different resorts. :cool: It's very much about the view and enjoying it from the Lanai, IMO.

Dang OneDrive. Thought I could post a direct shared link, but that doesn't seem to work (it's doing some kind of redirect to actually get to the picture).

Will put it online when I get home next week. OFD, building 2, 6th floor.

Maybe it's just me, but does the ocean flow right-to-left in the morning, and left-to-right in the evening? Probably too much sun.

Let's see if this works (holy :eek: that's a huge pic!)

If it does, I'll tell you how I did it.

Nerd chicks rule ... heh. :whoopie:

So, I right-clicked on the missing image icon in your post, then Open Image in New Tab. It opens in OneDrive. Up at the top is a link to View Original - clicked that. Now I have the actual JPG open in the browser. Copied the URL, and posted the image.

I know! :eek:

I wish the forum formatting controls had image resizing! Hmmm ... but there is HTML wrapper. It's been a minute since I coded in HTML, but let me see what I can do ...

ETA: Well jiminy schnickets ... IMG attributes are disabled. Boo.

Our view was less than awesome, but cheap airfare and we were in Maui...so all was good.

(I think we were in north, but not positive.)

Received unit 7213 in the same building at check in. The next day we asked to see if there was a higher floor unit available and received the above unit.

View from balcony

View from the living room/dining room. Would have been nice if the window's exterior were washed.

Pretty decent views for an II exchange.
