Maui? It was all we’d hoped for! The best part for both of us was just sitting on our lanai (luh-nigh--balcony) eating a leisurely breakfast and watching people walking on the beach, swimmers, snorkelers, board paddlers, guys playing bocce ball, whales!, swaying palms, ocean waves rolling ashore and listening to the birds. The whale-watching tour was amazing. Traveling up to the top of the volcano and along the winding road to Hana were full days of marvelous scenery and we managed to snag 12 geocaches (and 2 Travel Bugs) during our stay. Yes! We’ve cached in all 50 states now!! The weather was almost always sunny and warm (about 80 degrees) and then there was the food! Mama’s Fish House was an experience. It was really fun for me to try to pronounce all the Hawai’ian words, mostly cities and names of beaches, etc., and watch the big waves and surfers. Dad loved scanning the horizon with his binoculars for whales blowing and taking lots of photos of the landscapes and flora. Our condo was definitely worth biting the bullet for, cost-wise. We’d go there again. The week went by oh, so quickly. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to visit this beautiful island and soak it all in.Please check out our photos and videos…and be proud (and grateful) that we whittled about 940 shots down to about 290! They are in chronological order with too many details, but I use my blog to help document and remember stuff. You might want to tackle it a day at a sitting. Also, I couldn’t put the accent marks on some of the Hawai’ian vowels…but I’m sure you’ll forgive me! (for not painting and making to scale)

Wow, beautiful pics! I usually never get jealous when others travel because I'm not much of a traveler, except when the destination is Hawaii.....oh man am I jealous!
Looks like you had a wonderful time. Should I start a countdown to Abram's retirement? ;)
I'm so glad it was an awesome trip. Thanks for sharing all of your amazing photos!
