Aloha from Kihei, HI

Aloha!

I’m typing this while sitting poolside in Kiehi, Hi on the island of Maui. Suffice to say, the post alone has taken about 20 minutes to even start because I’m too busy enjoying the heat, humidity, and sunshine.

I haven’t pulled out my camera yet, but it seems that with every step I take I want to take a shot. It’s just unbelievable! And the humidity is nothing like I have ever experienced – it’s like permanently living in the Bloedel Conservatory, especially with the constant call of various tropical birds.

Anywho, the pool beckons my participation so I’m going to bug out. I’ll try to post each day to share with you my adventures (albeit somewhat boring due to the fact we’re here with my folks) as I know how much y’all are enjoying the monsoon back at home.

Mahalo!

Destination Maui

Having never been to Hawaii, I’m pretty darn excited to be heading to Maui in just over two months time. Maybe it was seeing episodes of “Hawaii 5-0″ on TV when I was young or catching “Saved By The Bell: Hawaiian Style,” but I’ve always wanted to go – just never had the wherewithal to make it happen.

But dream no more.

Marnie and I fly out at the end of October (on the wings of WestJet - who I might add is quite conversational on twitter @WestJet) and will be staying with my parents at the Kamaole Sands. My folks have been here twice in recent times and say the place is quite nice. The fact they also picked up the tab for us makes it even better – we just needed to pay for our flights. They’ve also arranged for a rental car, making us quite a bit more mobile.

But what do we do when we get there? I know there are tonnes of places to visit, but reading out of a guidebook is one thing – I’d rather hear from y’all because word of mouth is that much better. Suggestions?
