Honeymoon Part I

Our time in Maui was so much fun!!! As you can already tell my the title of this post, there will be a Part II because I took enough pictures to make it more than one post. This was our first night in Maui...we just watched the cliff diver at sunset and took a self photo...honestly some of our best pictures are ones that we have taken of ourselves. It was a long flight...9 1/2 hours to be exact but worth it. During our honeymoon, we were already talking about our next return trip to the island...can't wait! Here we are again...the happy couple!


We both agree, one of the BEST things we did while in Maui was getting up at 3:00am (Ok well that wasn't so great) and driving up to the top of a dormant volcano to watch the beautiful sunrise. It was about 40 degrees 10,000 feet above sea level, hence the warm bomber jackets we were provided. After the sun was up, we then got to cruise down the volcano by bike. It really was neat. At one point we were biking past cows that were right by the road doing cowlike things (Beth I thought of you). By the time we were back down to sea level, it was hot and I was back down to my tank top. It was a great day! I guess I should have taken my helmet off for the photo..oh well.

We stayed at the Maui Sheraton Resort. At our beach to the right was below, Black Rock. This is where the cliff diver dove into the ocean every night at sunset. We also snorkeled one morning by the rock. The fish were so colorful and would swim right up to meet you. It was another neat experience. I had problems with my $10 snorkel set that kept leaking =( And the water was a bit on the cold side, but I'm not complaining because I was in Hawaii!!!



Obviously I like this picture a lot! It is at the bottom of my blog. But I really did take this picture (No, it's not a post card). This was the view from our hotel!


Ok, so I still have more pictures and stories to share about our time in Maui. Stay tuned!!
