Maui

So we took the ferry over to Maui to see Mica and Dave. It was the WORST weather...so windy and cold! Thank god for Dramamine...the Superferry was rocking and rolling. We saw very few whales since it was so windy. We got a last minute room at the Wailea Marriot Beach Resort for $120 on Hotwire....awesome...plus Mica and Dave were staying there too :)

Since we got there pretty early, we ate lunch and met up with our Seattle buds. We decided to go on a snorkeling adventure. We ended up at Makena Landing...the water was fuhreezing and it looked like chocolate milk from churning on the shore. The guys of course had to show off and show us how tough they were. They said it was awesome so Mica and I slowly immersed ourselves. The coral in Maui is AMAZING, nothing like on Oahu. We saw quite a bit of fish and the clarity of the water was surreal. My snorkel mask was leaking a bit so I figured I'd try to snorkel without my mask...um, yeah, I'm a serious douche bag. Opening your eyes under saltwater equals can't see shit...lol. All in all it was a successful snorkel adventure.

The next day we had booked a snorkel tour out to Molokini Crater. It's whale season so there was bound to see lots of whale watching as well. It was so windy but we lucked out by the time we went to Molokini, it was pretty calm and tons of fish. On our way back we cruised around the West side of Maui a bit...got to see Big Beach and Little Beach (nudist beach). We saw tons of whales but the most memorable were the whales that were having sexy time...oh yeah!

It was great to see familiar faces, even if it was just for the weekend!
