We leave with the McAfees and Kingsleys for Maui on the 10th of this month for two weeks of sitting on the beach, hiking, site seeing, and eating spam. It seems like it's been 4 years since we've planned this vacation. When I need a brake from work it usually goes that way. As much as I'm looking forward to my first tropical travel destination, it comes at a time where every cent we make is going straight into savings. Paradise can be expensive and diving into money that is suppose to be for our first house can be a little demotivating. But I guess we have to enjoy the islands before global warming washes them away.We're going to be staying on the west side of the island but we may try to make it over to the Hana Hwy on the other side for a day or so. I've heard the drive is beautiful and is full of waterfalls, tide pools and empty beaches. After picking up a book about all the stuff on Maui I realized that it would take more than a two week trip to see all there is to see. 80 or 90 trips throughout my life time should do it. We still have to figure out what we're going to do for auto transport and stuff like that but Matt seems to have all the ducks lined up.
