Understanding the Struggle

Climbing a Tree...kinda

This is as high as I get when climbing a tree...hahaha!

Maui: Driving:-)

I did A LOT of this in Maui. It was cool though. I wore that Jeep OUTTTTT!

Maui: Cool Tree

We spotted this tree along our 5 mile hike in flip flops:-) Very unique tree:-)

New Delta Economy Seating

Sweet...right??? Delta is doing it up and it should be installed by 2010.  I could have appreciated this yesterday:-)

Road to Hana

I must say that the Road to Hana was probably more fun for me than most. 671 hairpin curves and 54 one lane bridges would make a lot of people curl up in a ball and call it a day. This was seen by one car going 10mph (speed limit was just 15mph) and honking the horn around every curve. Intimidating...yes the Road to Hana can be intimidating. Like anything you have to see the fun in it...or be a bit different than others...hahah. Below is a picture...yes that's for two cars:-)

I looked at the Road to Hana as a really long go kart track. I love racing go karts. The hugging of the curves, making up time on the cart in front of you...passing. I like the competition aspect:-) Well, on the way back I got passed by a "local". My goal from that point was to keep up with the local. My logic was simple. If they can do it, so can I. I worked out that Jeep and had the Wrangler doing things it never dreamed of doing:-) You'd have to be there to understand how fast 40-45 mph seems on this road. It was AWESOME!!!

Besides the driving we also saw some cool things. More pics on the Road to Hana coming. Here is a picture of the Jeep that became the race car:-)

Charissa and Greg Oden:-)

Within a 150 feet of stepping off the plane in Maui, I saw Greg Oden (this past year's #1 pick in the NBA Draft/Portland Trailblazers) over on the side. He had just ordered some food. We walked by and then went back and Greg was nice enough to take a picture with Charissa. Why no picture for me? Well, I didn't ask. Greg shook my hand and I wished him good luck this coming season. Nice guy. Cool picture too:-)

Back at Home

I'm back!!! 10 wonderful days in Maui have concluded and I find
myself back on my couch updating the blog a bit. I'm working on two
hours of sleep, so I won't have much now, but hopefully some pics soon.

Peace!

Maui Bound

For all of my loyal readers (you know who you are...hahah) there may be a few less posts around here over the next couple weeks. I'm heading to Maui tomorrow (Honeymoon) and will be there for 10 days. I hope the Four Seasons is ready for me...hahaha. Anyway, if you want to keep up with my ventures I'll be updating my Twitter and you can follow me on that:-)

Peace! I'll holla at ya when I get back:-)

Guess Who

Any idea who this is? Your hint...HBO. Read on to see who this is.

Honeymoon Booked!

With the wedding nearly three months away now, I finally took care of booking the honeymoon. I've always taken care of the trips we've went on and usually it's been quite easy. The honeymoon however hasn't been quite as easy.

There are so many nice places in the World. So many. So many places I'd like to go. I've searched for hours upon hours since the engagement trying to pick just the right place. It's hard this time because unlike a normal trip, this is the honeymoon. You only get one honeymoon, ya know.

We finally decided on Maui, Hawaii. Honestly, Hawaii wasn't a top choice in the beginning, but after so many people giving positive feedback it quickly moved to the forefront:-)

The Four Seasons Maui, which happens to currently be the number one rated hotel in the United States, is were we will be staying:-) The hotel, flight and rental car are all booked:-)

I can't wait!
