A couple more of my favorite pictures from Maui. This is a Hawaiian fire dancer. They said he was a three time champion. I keep wondering why we never see championship fire dancing one Eurosport TV.


Right up there with the fire dancer is my own spark of delight.


One of my favorite scenes on our drive around the west side of the island was this wonderful church in a valley, on the beach, between two enormous cliffs.

Maui Vacation

I know... It's been a while since I posted. I have excuses. Nobody wants to hear excuses though. How about some pictures?



Do I look exhausted? This was taken at the end of my sixth dive, yesterday. I took a course in scuba and I am now qualified as an open water diver. That's entry level but for me it's a really good accomplishment. I feel like I have a whole new world to explore.

My instructor, Drew, gave very clear lessons and a lot of, "on the spot" tests. In the picture he was having me check his gear and identify each step.


Of course, we didn't spend all of our time with the dive course though. We took an incredible drive around the west end of Maui. Most of it is a one lane road around tight turns on cliffs. That is, with two way traffic. Let me just add one word here... interesting!
