The first picture is the helicopter we got to ride in for an hour tour around Maui. That was the way coolest thing we got to do on our trip. It was amazing! I've always wanted to ride on one so this was pretty awesome.
This is the view from the helicopter of the hotel strip where we were staying on the north end of the island. We stayed at the Westin Ka'anapali.
This trip we decided to take the road to Hana which is a 30 mile windy, twisty road on the south end of the island. This was one of the stops along the way. The water was this incredible blue and there was all these volcanic formations in the water. This one kind of reminded me of a turtle. It was really cool to see the waves crashing against the rocks. There was a blowhole but no water ever shot up through it.
This is another shot from the road to Hana. There was this cute little town way down in the valley with a white clapboard church that looked really cool. I was trying to frame it through the plants. I thought the pictured turned out kind of cool.
Dennis went boogie boarding with this other couple that we spent quite a bit of time with. We found this great beach just north of where we were staying and the waves were really good. Some of them would have gone right over people's heads if they were standing up as they came in. I didn't do any boogie boarding myself, but Dennis had a great time.
I don't know how we missed this tree the first time we went to Maui. It is in this square in Lahaina a little coastal, tourist town on the north coast. It is a huge banyan tree. I know it looks like alot of trees, but is is all one tree. You can see all the twisted, gnarled stuff in the middle, but all the ones that look like separate trees surrounding the middle stuff is part of the main tree. The sign says there are 19 different major "trunks" for this one tree. It was totally cool.
Yes, I know there aren't really any pictures of me and Dennis, but we didn't really take any of ourselves. It was kind of weird to be there without the kids to take pictures of. We only took a few of us and they weren't all that great. Oh well. It was a really fun trip though.

Looks beautiful! Nice pics.
I'm very jealous of the helicopter ride. Always wanted to do that myself.
Was it a good weird or a scary weird to be there without the kids? Hopefully relaxing.
No good sunburn, coral injury, or nausea stories? Oh wait, Dennis had nausea. The trip was a success!
Since you sent me a text while you were there I know it was in Oct, but perhaps you are doing a strange sort of time travel? My October, your november?
(:
Ahhh, makes me feel better that I'm not the only one scrambling words and such.
It WAS October, boy what a bonehead. It was good weird without the kids but odd not to have anyone to take pictures of. It's not like we really wanted to take pictures of each other and you had to get someone else to take pictures of us together--that was weird. I did get a little sunburn but just in weird patches--where I missed or forgot to reapply.
That sounds and looks heavenly! I have always loved those banyan trees. You got to do a LOT of fun things -(she said with barely concealed envy:0)I think it's great you had a get away without the kids and were able to relax and enjoy it.
Now back to the "real" world with spastic computers and other mundane details. Ahh well....
I am soooooooo jealous! I would love to be in Hawaii right now, and with no kids to boot. AAhhh
