THE Andrea

Sunday, July 13th
We woke up at 2am. Why such weird hours, you may wonder? We have to get ready to head up to Haleakala for the sunrise. We managed to get out of the condo just before 3am, and started our 2+ hour drive up the volcano. The volcano is 10,023 feet, and the drive [...]

Mike woke up at 6am to see if he could find us a snorkeling cruise out to Molokini Crater. He found one with Pacific Whale Foundation @ 7:45. We got lucky. The boat we were on usually holds 100 ppl, but for whatever reason we only had 22. It made for a great [...]

The usual morning. We actually went to the beach at our condo for the first time and took a dip and a snorkel. The waves were pretty rough out there so I didn’t snorkel too much. I ended up just hanging out in the water enjoying the waves smacking into me. No, seriously, [...]

Mike had to get up early for scuba. So, I slept in… til 8:30 even!  Did the morning thing of breakfast on the lanai. Then I proceeded to lay on the bed with my ipod to listen to an audiobook. And of course, I fell back alseep until 12:30.  When Mike got back [...]

After breakfast on the condo’s lanai, we walked all of 100 feet or so to Snorkel Bob’s to rent me some snorkel gear. We then got ready, and headed to Honolua Bay for some snorkeling. We were using our Maui Revealed guide and we weren’t completely sure where it was. On the way [...]

I woke up at 7:15am. I didn’t sleep so great cuz I was too worried that I wouldn’t hear my cell’s alarm. Got ready, and then went downstairs to meet up with the airport shuttle at 7:45am. I didn’t want to wake the girls, but I was able to say ciao to Erika [...]

So, at the very last minute, I decided to not take my laptop with me to Hawaii. So, that is why it’s been so long for an update. However, I did take tons of notes, so that I would forget nothing. I will hopefully begin those updates very shortly. Like today… or this weekend at [...]
