Posted by Jess in General,Travel The wedding (duh).
Sunrise over the volcano Haleakala.
Surviving the road to Hana which is 52 miles and 3 hours of curves, one lanes bridges, and beautiful scenery. We hiked a bamboo forest and saw a waterfall off the side of the highway.
Touring Lahina, an old whaling town and the former center of the Hawaiin royalty.
All you can eat and drink luau with dances from across Polynesia.
Lots of beach time without a major sunburn (whoohoo!).
Traveling with really awesome people
Two cases of car theft, including our backpack. Luckly no money was in it; just socks, sunscreen, granola bars, and our keys from back here in WI (which unluckily are really expensive to replace).
A somewhat tempermental condo that included a broken toliet, AC, and a fan that made a ticking noise most of the time. Again, everything was fixed and Boone got to play MacGyver in his attempts to make the fan stop ticking.
It was really hot the whole time- like close to 90 most days. Good thing the wedding was at sunset!
On a snorkling trip, Boone and I spent most of the time green with sea sickness.
On the morning we left, Boone took a surf board to the ribs when surfing. That made a few uncomfortable plane rights and a week away from the gym.
Aloha and mahalo for reading! We made the long trip to Maui in early July to enjoy the wedding of our good friends Jon & Mel (hooray!). It was a beautiful wedding indeed. The vacation had some good parts and some bad parts, but over all we had a good time.
Good parts:
Bad parts:
Oh well- a bad day in Maui is still a day in Maui, There is a page on the right with some pictures from the trip. Enjoy and aloha!
Also, congrats to Boone’s cousin Erin and her new husband Johannas, and our friends Scott and Kristin. We attended their weddings right after we got back from Maui, so the celebrations continued well into July.
