Wow.
Mark Twain was right on da money. Even though his heart was in the West, Maui stayed with him.
I had the best vacation I've evah had. I may get to travel to the rest of Hawaii but Maui has set itself indelibly my heart, and I already miss it.
I've been up traveling for the past 24 hours too, so I'm a bit giddy.
Go there, whatever you do, by any means, go there.
We spent most our time away from the resort corridors, away from thew bloated, pink haoles who never see much beyond the beach in front of the hotels. But we where in a fantastic beachfront condo. we slepts with the sliding glass door open as the waves carressed the shorline. Humpbacks played all over the place! fighting pods, mothers and calves, whales breaching 40 tons out the water just for the sheer joy of being alive.
Sunrise on Haleakala! mind numbing, and as Twain put it:
I felt like the last man, neglected of the judgment, and left pinnacled in mid-heaven, a forgotten relic of a vanished world."
The road to Hana, voted the most beautiful road in the United States, well, thats no idle boast! fun drive too

I could so go for the local style and go native. If it wernt for the high cost of living, the vague racism, and the minimal job market. Something to consider.
someplace between the postcard beaches, the raw nature, the rainforest, the alien moonscape of a volcano, theres something that stirred me.
I was ganged up on by two peacocks trying to get my rice crackers and pineapple!
Mohalo!
