You're going to kill me, because I have very few pictures! My camera wasn't working, so I have a few that I took when we went to the Iao valley on my phone, but nothing of the beach! Anyway, the Wailea area is lovely in the Spring. The weather was in the mid to high 80's and it was breezy with stronger winds in the afternoon that died down later. The ocean water was the perfect temperature. We didn't get any pics at the FS, it was dark when we were there, but we did walk down through the pool area to the beach walk to walk back to the Marriott. I would have liked to have seen it during the day.

My sister saw them over the summer (?) and she would have told me if Steve Perry had been there (!). If he re-joined the band for a tour, I'd jump in line for tix! Saw them many years and a lifetime ago at the Meadowlands in NJ. I was sick as a dog (fever) but they put on one of the best concerts I've been to.

Faron  Are you Scroogey?! I think I take after my Grandma, she goes all out and gets really excited for holidays. My Mom used to when we were younger but sheÂs "cleaning out" and hardly puts anything up anymore. I tell her sheÂs scroogey. Ha she doesnÂt like it much! This is my first Thanksgiving, Christmas..all the holidays in my own house and I donÂt really have anything so it appears that IÂm going overboard. Ahh man! The high hiding white is grayish/brownish!?? Then I want nothing to do with that paint. Ultra white sounded so BRIGHT. Serves me right for asking the nice guy who didnÂt appear to know too much. Can I exchange that? IÂd imagine it would be fine. That really bites that IÂm going to have to drive back over there. ItÂs almost an hour drive from my house. I could go after work I suppose, but I need to prep Monday. Grr. Thank you for the heads up though because I wouldnÂt have looked and I would have been repainting. When you say for ceilings the "wall white" is fine are you talking about the base (remember I know nothing about paint) because I had them mix the Light Navajo for the ceiling. I will post before and afters. IÂm sure IÂll be in paint shock when I get home Tuesday. Hopefully not too bad.

Thanks, everyone! I'm off to buy a 1/2" nap roller, and I found a local ICI paint store, so I'm going to give the ultra-hide a try. Thanks, Paintguy, for that tip. I'm hoping the reason you like it best is that it is forgiving in terms of the flash marks! (After feeling all confident after my walls turned-out so great, I now feel like I need some sort of "ceiling paint for dummies" to get the ceiling to be even passable!) Faron, I used the non-reflective flat on the ceiling. When I asked at the paint store this is what they recommended. They did not mention the C4150 ceiling paint. I'd be curious to know your opinion on the difference between the two. My paint store told me that the non-reflective flat was only good for ceilings, as it would not stand up to wall use. What is C2 thinking here? If, as Paintguy reports, even the pros don't like the non-reflective to use on the ceiling, (and I can attest, it's certainly hard for the amateur to use), what is it's intended use--particularly if C2 has a less costly reformulated (better?) "ceiling" paint? If you have used both, or have enough comments from your customers to form an opinion, I'd be interested. Is the reformulated ceiling paint intended to replace the non-reflective? Do you think my local store is just unloading the old stuff? Just curious. Thanks Mindstorm for clearing-up the full spectrum issue. I think the full spectrum paints sound wonderful, but am wondering if there are any that are available through local stores, as opposed to mail order? Also, if I'm using basic off-whites and neutral beige, is it worth the extra cost and hassle? I've always liked plain white walls because you can change the color in a room with accessories. I'm thinking of making (for me) a "bold" move, and going with beige in my entry hall. Would I really notice that much difference between regular paint and full spectrum, considering it is, after all...beige? Thanks also Michael and Christopher for chiming in. Michael, any tips on rolling technique to maintain the wet edge? I think the longer nap roller will help, but I found, with the room size, if I start in a corner, and roll the length of my reach working across the room, by the time I get back to the side where I started, it's kinda dry? Ceiling is 9' and I'm using a pole. Surprised no one picked up on the floetrol? would this stuff help keep things wet? Is there a downside to using it?
