Hi everyone...Cindy here...Well, we did have a wonderful time on Maui! It seems like a wonderful dream. We have been really busy, last week on Wednesday I went to Anahiem for an Arbonne Seminar. It was awesome, of course I took the camera with me so Larry couldn't post any of the Maui pictures. We flew to Maui nonstop on Monday October 15, because of time change we got there just when it was getting dark so we got the rental car and headed for Costso so our first meal on Maui was a Costco hot dog (romantic huh?) The next morning, Tuesday, we decided to take the road to Hana. It is this long drive through lush rain forests and beautiful water falls cascading into clear pools. There is one place on the way on the way up the winding (and I mean winding) road, called Seven Sacred Pools. First of all, there are only five and they are not sacred. Years ago this guy had quite a road side business going with people coming up to see the pools and falls. There is a waterfall, then a pool, then a waterfall. then a pool. When business started dying down he did some advertising calling them the Seven Sacred Pools just to get people up there. Well we had a great time on that, all day expedition. We would stop at roadside vendors and get some homemade coconut candy, and I really don't like bananas but the one I ate there was so yummy. Then we stopped at another place to get handmade Hawaiian jewelry ( some of it had made in china on that back but oh well)We saw a black sand beach and this really old church and the grave of Charles Lindberg. At that spot you could walk beyond the graveyard and look over this fence way down below and see the ocean. This day was so magical because it seemed everything went perfectly. On the way down we decided to stop and see if we could get into Mama'a Fish House which ususally requires advance reservations but we got there just after it opened and we were seating in the prime seating where the wall by our table is open air half way up and the ocean in right there. Needless to say the meal was to die for!!! Well, $180. later we left and were happy to pay it and that was just for Larry and I. I felt like I was a princess in a dream. I will continuue later...Love To All Of You!!!

You took some awesome pictures. What about golf? Are there golf courses there that you can afford to play. At $180 for dinner the green fees must be way expensive. Ooh, a banana right off the tree. I'll bet it was yummy. Sounds like a great trip, except no golf.
