Ok... I've been horrible at this bogging thing, but I promise to be better. I just got a new laptop which I now have no idea how I lived without this convienence! I have done so much since my last post including Maui. Our trip, with two of our great friends Jeff and Lisa was pretty good. I don't know if I'm just spoiled or what, but I wasn't super impressed. Landing for the first time in Oahu sent chills up my spine, but a 20 minute flight to an adjacent paradise didn't quite do the same. Don't get me wrong though, if you are planning a trip to Maui, don't chalk it up to that travel insurance. You'll love it if you are coming from the mainland. It's a much more chilled vibe and I reccommend staying on the east side as it's much more lush with more outdoors to explore.
We moved here to Hawaii about 4 months ago, and after several informal discussions, we have no idea how we will ever adjust back to living anywhere else. The weather is unbeatable, the locals are one of a kind, the lifestyles and traditions are still present, and there is something for everyone. Sunsets, surfing, hiking, outdoor festivals, inter-island travel, beaches, farmers markets and I can go on and on. How often do I get to see giant sea turtles, whales and sea lions on a regular basis!
We went in shark cages a few weeks ago and it was amazing. It's pretty hard to impress and get a thrill out of my husband who shoots guns and jumps out of planes for a living, and even he got a kick outta this one! It's so amazing to be a foot from a dozen sharks circling you and knowing that your oh-so-precious extremities can slip out of the not so small cages openings at any time. (My leg did, and I'm proud to say that I somehow still have it!)
Anyway, I'll keep this up more and post pictures as soon as I figure out how to transfer them to the laptop from the big computer upstairs. :)
