Hanging in Hawaii







Well it has been a while since I last updated my blog so I thought that I would say a few words about our last trip to the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. Maui No ka oi which means Maui is the best. Our trip was to get away from the winter blues and enjoy the beautiful environment and warm sun of Maui. If you have never been then you need to plan a trip and go to Maui and taste the sweet pineapple and fabulous sunsets in a wonderful tropical location. Both Kathryn and I along with some really great friends "the Saunders" spent a week on the island of Maui basking in the warm sun and enjoying the weather of about 74 degrees average. It rained only one day and the rest of the week was absolutly beautiful. We went scuba diving during the day and at night and saw all kinds of interesting sea creatures. We went on a whale watching/snorkleing trip for about 5 hours and saw all kinds of whales and other kinds of wildlife and even swam about 20 feet above a reef shark.

One of the highlights of the trip was swimming in the 7 pools by Hana at the state park. the waterfalls were fantastic and the ocean is so pretty in the background.
