Maui 2011

Aloha!  We arrived in Maui Saturday afternoon to lots of rainy weather.  Fortunately, it's calmed down and we haven't seen a drop since.   We arrived at our timeshare condo, which I remember being very nice when we looked at the models, but it's even nicer than I remembered.  Here are some photos of of it before we destroyed it.  We were a little disappointed that there were only 6 pillows on the bed though.

The highlight of Judy's trip so far was winning $10 off Scott while golfing.  She was given 2 strokes per hole and, of course, played the best game she has ever played, 107!  That was Monday......  We played again Thursday, this time a much harder course where they tied, winning one nine each.  However, Judy's still $10 ahead and having a hard time getting the payoff.

We weren't aware when we booked this trip that February has the highest concentration of whales migrating from Alaska.  Tuesday, we took a catamaran trip to the island of Lanai and witnessed many, many whales on the way there.  Here's a video Scott took of a whale giving us the moon multiple times and a couple of still shots.

We took a walk on the beach this morning and ran into this sea lion sunbathing.



After that we ventured to the north coast and took a picnic to the beach/park to watch the surfers.  Here's one of the local surfers.

Here he is on the water, Not bad for a beginner!

That's the week so far.  Today we're off to explore the north central coast ending the day at Mama's Fish House.
