Just Swept Away!

I love the song that Christopher Cross sang for this episode and I can't get it anywhere. But I did get it and thanks for those who have written me regarding it. I got it on the Christopher Cross CD. Anyway, the Seavers goes to Maui for a vacation. It's surprisingly well-written since nobody but Jason wanted this trip. Anyway, Maggie secretly works at night for her newspaper back home in Long Island on a story that goes national. Mike coaxes Ben by showing him a beautiful Hawaiian girl on a horse. Ben thinks horseback riding and not pretty woman. Ben has his camcorder and spends his vacation videotaping the events. Carol is swooning over Bobby back home. SHe spends her time by the phone waiting for his call even though they are only gone for two weeks. Mike finds love with a Hawaiian tour guide. Of course, my favorite moments is listening to the beautiful song by Christopher Cross, "Swept Away." Ever since I remember these episodes, I have wanted to go to Maui and Hawaii in general.
