Trip to Maui! :)

This past weekend I was off to Maui to visit my dear friend and old roomie, Nina.  Wow, what a trip. :)

Pictures are worth a thousand words so here you go. :)

believe it or not, this is one massive tree starting from the center of the courtyard and extends out to the outer edges and re-roots itself by dropping roots and growing another "trunk" to support the extended branches. I saw it with my own eyes and I couldn't believe it. :) 
On the ferry to visit Lana'i!

Me, Nina and her daughter Andria


Caves in Lana'i

Manele  Beach

Crystal clear waters. 

Nina and I were looking for a "calmer" beach to try going snorkeling. We hiked past Manele Bay and found this private place - but still too rough. Andria suggested we see what's beyond that cliff. Yikes, a hike!?

Does that look like a gargoyle to you? It did to me!

Almost to the top - gorgeous isn't it?

Reflecting on how far we'd come. Wowza.

Yeah.. I'm soooo not a hiker. I'm the only fool, in the world perhaps, who goes on a hike with a purse on one side and a tote on the other. I need to get a backpack. :)

Its Sunday and we're off to do some whale watching

Sadly, this was the best view we got all day. :(

Its not all bad though. It was a lovely day and the water was absolutely gorgeous. I just love being out on the water. :)

Turtles!
