Maui 2009 - Day One

OK.

So I just got in yesterday to Maui.  Absolutely gorgeous!  That's it, I've decided I'm packing my bags and moving to Maui!!  How long would it take me to get my license out here?!!  Kidding (then again, maybe not).

I have to tell you, it's an ENTIRELY different way of life here.

The people here are like Canadians without the snow!!  So nice, so respectul, very laid back, not uptight at all.  It's kind of a culture shock for me, but in a good way.

And I'm learning that Hawaii has the most beautiful extensive culture that goes back many, many years.

So all I have right now is just this one shot of the view from my balcony, but I will post much more over the next 7 days.

We are planning on taking the road to Hana, which has 617 curves, 31 bridges and takes a few hours to get to.  I hope I don't lose my breakfast!!

Of course, we had to stop at a few open houses to see what the real estate is like here.  We'll be going over to Kanapali in a day or so to see what condos are like there.

Some other things on our agenda include snorkeling, cycling down from a volcano, swimming wiith dolphins, and much more.

Bye for now!

Sound like a great trip, and yes I am jealous.  Enjoy every minute and try not to think about work, its a vacation.

What a great trip! My daughters friend moved to Maui with her family about six months ago and has loved every second of it. I can't imagine living a more peaceful and soothing life than living a life on a beautiful island. Enjoy the rest of your stay.

I hope you'll remember me if you learn of anyone moving to "The OC" and I will do the same!

Enjoy,  I lived there for 6 months the last time I visited and the time before that a 2 week stay turned into a 6 week stay.

The picture you posted shows the very unit that I stayed at a few years ago.  Make sure you go scuba diving at the volcano, ride the bikes and see the sunrise at the islands top mountain (can't spell the name) and just sit back and enjoy the time, it goes by fast.

Sounds like you are in for a lot of fun. Hope you have a wonderful vacation, and do take a little time for rest, if you can fit it in.
