Pics from Maui...

[Haole Girl]

From our trip last week:























There are some good whale shots, but they need editing...

maybe I'll post them later this weekend.

:hi:

1. Oooohhh, I'm jealous!

It looks like you went to Lahaina and Io (sp) Valley. Did you take the road to Hana?

[Haole Girl]

3. Correct... Lahaina and Ioa Valley

We did not take the road to Hana. But I've been on it. There just never seems to be enough time. :hi:

[crimsonblue]

5. Tell me about it..

It always seems like you spend the first couple days adjusting to the time, and the BAM, you have to start feeling sad that vacation will be over shortly. The Road to Hana may be my favoritest part. I've taken both by helicopter/van tour and driving it myself with a guide CD. I love stopping at all of the little out-croppings, plus I love going to the town that makes the bestest rum in the entire world!

2. Lovely

:)

[Haole Girl]

4. Thank you

:hi:

[petronius]

6. Those are really nice! I especially like the composition on the palm tree shot,

and that splash of color in the foreground of the sunset really makes the picture work.

Beautiful...

[Haole Girl]

8. Thank you

I don't know why, but I've always liked to take pics into the sun. Which I think is a no-no in photography! lol :hi:

[petronius]

34. It's only a no-no if the pictures turn out badly. Yours seem to come out well, so

ipso facto you're doing it right... :hi:

7. nice.

we're headed back to Hawaii in march, Kauai and Oahu this time.

[Haole Girl]

9. Oh, I love Kauai!

Molokai is my favorite... it just would have been too expensive to get there & stay there this time. :hi:

[AlCzervik]

10. we haven't been there since our honeymoon and we haven't been to Oahu since

1989 i think so it should be fun. Both hotels stays are on points, same with the airfare so it won't be too expensive except for dinners.

[Haole Girl]

11. Eating out is very expensive there

We eat a lot of Subway sandwiches on Maui! lol

[crimsonblue]

12. Did you happen to go to Mama's Fishhouse, the Sea House,

Roy's, or Io's Restaurant? Those are my favorites. Mama's has the best tuna in the world.

[Haole Girl]

13. I've eaten lunch at Mama's Fishouse before. And, yes, it was very good...yum!

We did go to dinner at our favorite restaurant there, one night, which is Kimo's. It was great. We had a table by the water. Here's a pic, though it didn't turn out well w/my iPhone:

14. Mama's is awesome!

behold the black pearl-yes i know but i took a pic anyhow.

[Haole Girl]

15. You're making me hungry!

16. Beautiful.

Did you see that giant banyan tree in that little square in Lahaina? I just love that thing.

[Haole Girl]

25. Thank you, Oregonian

Yes, that tree is amazing... it fills up the whole park area! :hi:

[Aristus]

17. Uh...KC2? Where are the pics of you? A lovely woman in a lovely setting. Not too much to ask...

Looks beautiful there. I hope you're having a wonderful time! :-)

[Haole Girl]

21. Um...

Thanks. :blush: Ok:

[Aristus]

30. Marvelous!

Thank you. :loveya:

[Haole Girl]

32. Thanks

I edited it for public viewing! :loveya:

[Aristus]

33. Good idea.

I can just imagine the rash of love-struck heart attacks! B-)

[prolesunited]

18. Wish we could afford to go back.

Did you make the drive to Hana?

[Haole Girl]

22. Yeah... it's very expensive, I know

We didn't make the trip to Hana this time. It was many years ago when we did drive there... really would like to go back & do it again, at a more leisurely pace, one of these days.

[Inchworm]

19. Awesome

What a beautiful place! Beautifully captured by you to boot.

:thumbsup:

:hi:

[Haole Girl]

23. Thank you

:hi:

[Nickster]

20. I wish I was there! I got weather from the Antarctic instead! Nice pics.

[Haole Girl]

24. Thank you

Heard about the horrible weather where you live :hug:

[Nickster]

26. It's sad that we had a 40 degree swing in weather overnight and it's only 19 out AND that actually

felt great to me! Sheesh, I must be a MidWesterner.

[Haole Girl]

28. 19 felt great?!

:wow:

I had to change out of capri pants and put on long pants at 60f in the DFW area today. :hi:

[Nickster]

31. Hey, after a few days of -30 to -50 windchill, 19 feels like the tropics to me. :-)

I'd be out in shorts and a tshirt if it was 60!

[bigwillq]

27. Nice!

Did you have fun? :hi:

[Haole Girl]

29. Thank you

Yes, it was very fun. :D :hi:
