A few years back we took our last all family vacation we have four daughters and a son and we went to Maui. We were having a great time and of course we're on a budget the seven of us and it was kind of tight. I was standing in the shade of a palm tree in a swimming pool and struck up a conversation with an elderly gentleman We must have talked for 30 minutes only to find out that he was on my father's bowling team for 20 years.
He had been coming to Maui with five other couples for decades and he was the only male left he asked if my son and I would want to join him and charter a boat fishing The cost was around $400. I said no thank you as much as I would like to do that I have four daughters that I would have to spend the same amount of money on so there's no question I can't do it I'll have to take a pass and thank you for your offer. Every day for a week he asked me to reconsider. Absolutely no temptation on my part I had to say no. Finally two days before he left he said okay that's it I just need mail companionship so bad I chartered the board grab your son meet me at the dock tomorrow morning and he paid for the whole trip which turned out to be wonderful
