Feeding the fish

 
Chris headed straight to the water to feed the fish, I was worried we might miss the train tour!

It's hard to believe the plants I associate with Christmas grow in the Tropics! 

Places I Love

 
Today we went to Kaanapali! It was really nice but so windy and sand kept blowing in my face. Even though I couldn't keep my towel down it was still a great day!

I love Kaanapali because of the soft sand and busy beach.
I Love Kehei because its always sunny.
I love Wailea because of the beautiful resorts and walking.
I love Kahalui because of the deals I have found at Ross! 

Kaanapali

 
Kaanapali is a beach just past Lahaina. We walked past a Luau set up at one of the hotels and Chris, Diane and I stopped for Mai Tai's. There is also a nice outdoor shopping center there called "Whalers Village"

LAHAINA

 
Tonight we went to Lahaina town and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant. It is all Forrest GUmp themed. It was alot of fun, we ate shrimp and I bought stickers! 

Rainbow

 
Today on the way to Lahaina I saw a rainbow! 

Aloha!

I sent this postcard while here in Hawaii!

Palm Trees

Alone Time!

 
Today I went and got a cinnabun bun from this really good cinnabon bun place in Kehei, I then went to the beach, sat on the ledge, and ate is all by myself. It was delicious! I listened to my Ipod and walked back along the beaches! 

Hiking in Maui

 
We walked back from Wailea today and took a hiking trail along the ocean. We were laughing because it was hardly a hike at all but there were signs everywhere I got alot of exercise today. Lots and lots of walking! 

Having lunch in Wailea

 
Here are Chris and I at the Marriott in Wailea. It was great! 

Beautiful Maui

These white birds (ingrits) walk around freely and beautiful flowers are everywhere. Lovely Lovely!!!

Lounging in the Sun!

This is the life... Trust me!! :)

The Grand Wailea

 
This hotel is amazing! It is where all the stars stay when they come to Maui. Last year I was able to get a wrist band for the pools. There are water slides, cabanas, beaches, swim up bars... the grounds are amazing! I love to walk around the resort. Oprah is staying here and she was spotted by our neighbors during lunch at "Mama's Fish House" restaurant. 

 
More Pictures at the Grand Wailea. Wailea is the newest part of Maui and there are many hotels just like this. We also spent alot of time at Marriott Wailea bathing by the pool, having lunch and enjoying the sun. Chris is getting annoyed with me reading my book all the time.

I am reading "A Million Little Pieces" by James Frey! I have seen at least 10 other people since I got here reading the same book! 

I Love this picture. It is the kid section at the Grand Wailea. Behind it are waterslides and the Ocean is infront! I will be taking my kids here someday!! haha

Happy New Year!

 
We all celebrated New Years Eve 2006 at the beach in Waikiki. We started out at a dance bar called Moose's. The fireworks on the beach were really good and lots of people were swimming in the ocean at midnight. It was cool because we were the last place in North America to celebrate New Years! 

 
Here is some of the group at the bar. 

Lisa and I enjoying the view - Waikiki Beach

 
This is the view from Waikiki Shores Penthouse 

Hanauma Bay

Today we went to Hanauma Bay. The snorkeling was amazing!! So many different kinds of fish and I even saw a baracuda. At one point the waves were really strong and I was getting swept onto the rocks, it was really scary because you couldnt control it and there was coral everywhere that you cannot touch! It was still really amazing!!

PipeLine

We drove to Pipeline beach where they have all the surfer competitions! I took this picture of this little boy because it looked neat how he was so small compared to the huge wave. After this we went to this shrimp place, they were the best prawns I ever had!
