Fantastic Maui memories

Maui has become a favourite place to get away from the colder weather back home. It's a relatively easy trip in that the flight is usually direct and takes about 6 hours to get there. Even 6 hours on a plane is worth it because when you step off that plane the tropical warmth surrounds you and you immediately forget you were just on an air-conditioned plane with recycled air. At least that's how I feel. The going home part is always hard knowing what I'm leaving behind and what I'm heading to. 

This trip was memorable in that we got to spend a lot of time just chillin' and relaxing. Taking a break from the craziness of life is important to me and this trip helped to accomplish that. We went zip lining which was a first for both of us and such an amazingly fantastic thrill. And what a scenic place to do that at. We spent Hallowe'en evening in Lahania and experienced what they call the Mardi Gras of the Pacific. It was neat to see everyone dressed up in costumes and having a great time. The thought and effort that went into some costumes was quite impressive....made my red cap for Red Riding Hood look a little basic. We met up with some good friends who were also there at the same time and had some good times hanging out. But most importantly I got to spend some quality down time with my Z. And for me that's probably the best part of it all...that I could experience all these great, fun things with him. Life is good. Aloha!
