(see pics) Next stop was a small tiny village on road side where we could buy some crafts fruit, lunch (tachos) or go for a coffee & muffin etc etc. [View Full Entry]

Maui, Hawaii. 7th Nov 2007 The day i thought i was a gonner Woke feeling very very tired and drained. Good day for relaxing on a beach i though and a spot of snorkling. Arrived at the supermarket for supplies. The usual a few cans of corona and for some strange reason i got a energy pick me up drink. Arrived at the beach (water pretty rough and fairly high waves). Got my snorkling gear on and off i went. Felt a little uneasy from the first minute but thought nothing much of it. Went along the rocks out of the [View Full Entry]

Jimmie left today after a 16 day visit. I am sad. We had so much fun going to the North Shore, Maui and just snorkeling and bodyboarding in Waikiki. His niece had her wedding at Kualoa Ranch, North Shore and it was amazingly beautiful and perfect. While he was here we camped at North Shore's Malaekahana State Park, Haleakala NP (Maui) and Waianapanapa State Park (Maui). After spending a Friday night at Malaekahana campground, we packed up and left early heading to Shark's Cove to snorkel. We got there early, around 8:00 am, and there were only a couple of people [View Full Entry]

Hello little shrub faires and tree elves! Sorry i have been spending too much time with the hippies in Paia(the little and nearest town 7 minutes from the base). On the "Welcome to Paia" sign coming into Paia it says, and i quote, "Don't feed the Hippies." Very funny. I haven't. Scared they might bite. Apparently there is some crystal under the earth there which helps them pull themselves towards themselves or keeps them regular or something and they all flock!!! So it can be fun going in to town and watching them all strung out on something. Actually its [View Full Entry]

Hello All So i know you are all chomping your finger nails in anticipation of my next travel blog, to hear of my heroic adventures in the land of preservative full/precooked/prepacked/presugared/presyruped/carbohydrated/calorie infused peanut butter everything. Just thought i'd let you know i've only put on 200 pounds which is equal to the total mass of all rock mined on earth since....... the beginning. Just kidding, i don't think i've put on any weight. Not sure about the 200 pounds being equal to the total mass of all rock mined on earth since....... the beginning, will look into it tho [View Full Entry]

Jumping on the plane to Maui from Oahu was the shortest flight of my life, no sooner had we climbed into the sky and reached cruising altitude than we began to descend. I think the flight was officially scheduled for just under half and hour. I was staying at a little hostel called the Banana Bungalow, it is not in the best area but it does run FREE tours everyday (repeated weekly) to different parts of the island, you only have to tip the driver at the end of the day. It is easily the cheapest way to see the island [View Full Entry]

Now that the conference was to all intents and purposes done, I was free to enjoy the rest of the trip… or so I thought. The next morning I got a call from Lee and John. Unlike me, they hadn’t seen the rest of the island yet so we headed over to Enterprise and hired a car for a day. Being the tight wads that we are, we were just going to settle for a tiny little compact but for just $5 more we could get a convertible. The choice seemed clear. So off we rolled in our swanky convertible [View Full Entry]
