Honeymoon Part II

On our second night in Maui, I thought that it would be fun to go on a dinner sunset sail. Good thing is that once you are on the boat it is all you can eat and drink, so I thought we would get our money's worth and have a fun dinner...so I was wrong. Carlos laughs at me, apparently I am not made for sailing because I was so green about 20 minutes into the sail =( Which meant I ate 5 bites of the food before I realized that food was not going to help me at all in this situation. Miserably I sat at the front of the boat staring down the horizon for the remainder of the HOUR AND A HALF sail. It was a rough night. Below is a picture of us when we FIRST got on the boat and I was still very excited!!About 3 miles from our resort was the town of Lahina which had great places to eat and shop. We went there several mornings for breakfast and lunch. Here as you can read for yourself, they had Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. While we did not eat there, I had to take a picutre. Sorry for the sweaty getup I'm wearing...I had to get a few runs in while I was away =)

Just another pretty picture of Maui!

On our last day, we visited the Aquarium. The fish were very colorful and the hammerhead sharks were neat to see. One of them attacked the glass where Carlos was standing...guess they are not a big fan of him. Fun fact we learned while there - all of the fish that were in the aquarium were found within 5 miles. I don't know, I thought it was kindof neat

So, we already are trying to figure out when the best time to go back would be. The way we see it is since we had our honeymoon in Maui, we will have to celebrate with an anniversary at some point =) Carlos thinks we could save accordingly and go for our 1 year anniversary...guess you never know!

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!!
