Hawaii – Maui 1st Edition
Well, that was a nice 9 day vacation if I may say so. A welcome respite after 2.5 years of grad school, boards and generally needing to get away from work for a while.
We flew into Maui on Tuesday afternoon and stayed until Saturday morning, enjoying our time at our bed and breakfast. There were some oddities though, note below.
Main Door to Our B&B
You’ll notice that the caption is “Main Door to Our B&B” but you’re looking in the bathroom. You didn’t read that wrong. The front door really did go into the bathroom. Don’t know who laid that out but it was unique to say the least.
Let’s move on to the actual fun stuff.
The first full day we had we headed out to Molokini Crater to go snorkeling. See some reef and later swim with some sea turtles. We can’t post any pictures from the actual snorkeling because a) our digital camera isn’t waterproof and b) we didn’t have a disposable waterproof camera at that point. BUT, here are a few from the trip.

A Little Whale Action
So not only did we get to swim, look at coral and sea turtles, but there was definitely a LOT of whale action going on. We got to see some pretty good jumps and a lot of tail. There was a constant lookout for whales through the entire trip and frequently we weren’t disappointed. All in all a very worthwhile way to spend about half a day in Hawaii. As you can tell, it was a beautiful day for a boat ride.
And here’s the best part…
Hours in a boat, in the sun, and barely a pink body part between the two of us. The tops of my feet got a little pink and Erin got some pink cheeks (face) but all in all a very good trip for two incredibly white people.
And last but not least, a picture of the pregnant one on the back of the boat trying to avoid the sea sickness.
