Hawai'i - Day 1

We arrived safely in Maui today, 12:30PM local time, about 3:30 Pacific, 5:30 central. We got up at 6:00 AM to ride the train to the airport to catch the 10 AM flight. It's now 6:08 pm and we're exhausted!

It is sooo beautiful here. Words cannot describe! It is a little warm during the day, it was 82 degrees when we landed, and humid.

We have a little Chevy Aveo to get us around, and our first stop was K-Mart to buy molly a Lei and a cooler. The second stop was Costco to buy wine, bread, cheese and fresh fish. We're hoping to save money buy eating lunch at the nice resturants, but cooking dinner at the hotel. Tonight? Lightly fried Marlin, pasta parmesian and goat cheese with a cheap pinot grigio. Yum!

Our hotel room has an ocean view, and is 50ft from a nice little beach and great snorkeling. We immediately got our bathing suits on and enjoyed about 45 minutes of the warm clear-blue water, then back to the hotel for wine and dinner.

Tomorrow we are driving into town to get hauled up to the top of the volcano to watch the sunrise over the ocean, and then bike down 38 miles. I'm told by MANY people that this is THE thing to do in Maui. So we're going to bed right now to get up at 3 AM. SOOOO tired.

Enjoy the pictures from our hotel room!
