Carlisle?

Dave and I took a quick little trip this past weekend. We decided to get out of the freezing cold temperatures in Utah and headed to Maui (the land of 80 degrees and sunshine)! We only had Saturday there so we spent a few hours at the beach, watched some whales in the distance and ate at Cheeseburger in Paradise in Lahaina. All in all a pretty relaxing trip! But I guess the highlight of the trip would have to be when we snuck into the Four Seasons Resort and went swimming.
After the beach we needed a place to rinse off since we had already checked out of where we were staying. We parked, walked into the Four Seasons (which is huge by the way) down to the pool, swam for a while and sat in the hot tub. Then we had the audacity to sit on a lounge chair! We were approached by a waiter to see if we wanted a drink and our chairs set up. We gratefully took the water but declined on the chair covers... we weren't planning on being there long. Then we were approached again and again asked if we would like our chairs set up. When we declined for a second time the employee asked us what name our room was under. At that point Dave said the first thing that came to his mind... Carlisle.
Now, I don't know any Carlisles and am not quite sure if Dave does but when the man turned away and went to check to see if there were any "Carlisle's" registered, Dave and I stood up, grabbed our stuff and left. The only way out just happened to be next to the kiosk where we were under scrutinization. So,trying to be discrete, we walked around the back, opened some doors I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to, hopped a gate and walked as fast as we dared back to our car trying not to seem suspicious.
We laughed about that the whole way home. It wasn't fun at the time, my heart was pounding at the thought of getting stopped on our way out, but looking back on the whole scenario, it was pretty funny. I was secretly hoping that there were some Carlisle's checked in though... we still hadn't made it up to the serenity pool!
