Maui!!

A few of my favorite pictures from my recent family holiday in Maui, Hawaii!

Maui Snorkel Trip

Took an amazing Snorkelling trip out to Molokini, and Turtle Town this morning.  We woke up at 5:30 am, before sunrise and took the and Pacific Whale Foundation trip out!  It was amazing!  We snorkelled in 2 spots, first seeing beautiful and colourful fish, and later swimming above Green Hawaiian Sea T|urtles and large Manta Rays.  I've done plenty of snorkelling and Scuba Diving, and this was probably one the of the best!.  Here is just a taste of what we saw off the coast of Maui!

20 kinds of  butterfly fish found only in Hawaii.

Sea Turtles, gliding around, I spotted one with a missing back foot, Shark had bitten it off : (

Humuhumunukunukuapua'a, the state fish of Hawaii, Also known as the Reef Triggerfish.

Manta Rays

Oasis of the Seas - Insanity!

The largest cruise ship in the world is about to set sail from Port Everglades, Florida in only 6 days! Royal Carribean's "Oasis of the Seas" will carry a record breaking 5400 passengers. The ship hosts 7 themed neighborhoods where you can stay, and choose your 2 story loft to overlook the sea, the promenades, or Central Park. The ship holds the first ever Aquatheatre Amphitheatre, 1st living park at sea, carousel and theme park boardwalk, zip line adventure zone, 2 rockclimbing walls, beach pool, and two surf simulators. Amazing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quebec City

Quebec in the fall is stunning! The old town charm mixed with the culture of Canada's "European City" was exciting to say the least. I flew out for the weekend to visit Shaun, while the QV was in port. We had a fantastic weekend, taking in the sites, eating in quaint little cafes, and drinking Quebec beer! |I loved the crisp Autumn air, the pumpkins, and the colourful leaves floating around the city!!

Whistler for the day!

Kass and I headed on a mini road trip to Whistler for the day. We stopped at Bridal Falls and ate lunch in the village. On the way home we watched the planes take off from Green Lake.
