michelle living dangerously


how cute is this? actually, if you think about it, not at all. it is so dangerous!!! watch as she almost slips into the dangerous 1 foot current.

notice also how when she waves at the crowd, it's so 'wonder years'. for those of you who don't get it, you're too young!

biking down a volcano

this morning we were picked up at the hotel at 7am. we then drove to the top of the haleakala volcano which is over 10,000 feet. from there, we biked down 38.2 miles through twists and turns. it was pretty fun except for the old folks in our group that were going so slow! our ride took about 4 hours which pretty much wiped us out. now we're back at the hotel just relaxing.

we pretty excited about going home tomorrow. it's always nice to be home after a trip like this. aloha!

finally...some sunshine

the sun finally decided to peek out of the clouds this afternoon so i'm laying out by the pool right now.

parasailing was awesome. we decided to do the 800 foot instead of the 400. well worth the extra $5. it was so quiet when we were up in the air and it wasn't scary at all. while we were on the boat, i was able to get some nice pictures and some video in high def. can't wait to check it out on my tv when i get home.

one thing i noticed is that there aren't any freeways. there are only a few main roads that take you around the island. these roads are usually only one lane and at times two lanes for a few miles. i can't imagine people being on time for anything. i guess it's the laid back mentality of the hawaiians.

i'm going to go for a swim now but i'll have pictures posted later tonight.

birds everywhere

these little birds are everywhere in maui. where ever we go, it seems like they're following us. they even fly into resturants through open windows or doors. michelle is not liking these birds!

we're going to make a second attempt to parasail today at 11am. it got postponed on wednesday because of the heavy wind conditions. i hope we're able to go out today.

it looks like another windy and cloudy day today. hopefully it will clear up in the afternoon so we can lay out by the pool.

tomorrow we go on a bike ride down the haleakala volcano. the ride is 40 miles downhill from a 10,000 foot summit. more pics on my flickr account to follow.
