Places I've Been

I thought I'd make things more interesting by posting pictures from places I've been. I have been fortunate enough to see a couple of amazing places. Some places are very far away from where I live, while others are quite close. There are many more places I hope to see over the remainder of my lifetime.

The first place I will share with you is the most beautiful place I have had the opportunity to see. Maui remains my all time favorite vacation spot.

This was the view from the top of our condo. The water is magnificent. It's slightly cool and crystal clear.

While we were there, we spent as much time in the water as possible. We went on a kayaking and snorkeling tour, another snorkeling tour and my son Shane and I went snorkeling again out in front of our condo. The turtles were my favorite. They would just swim up underneath you. They looked like they were flying.

Shane and I had the opportunity to try out Snuba, which is a cross between snorkeling and scuba diving. You breathe through a regulator and go under water like scuba, but your tank floats on the surface of the water and you are tethered by an air line. We went to a depth of 20 feet. I highly recommend it!



Shown above is one of the first stops we made on the Road to Hana (which you can see pictured in the photo below). This shot is overlooking the West Maui Mountains.

This is overlooking Hanamanu Bay. This is one of my favorite pictures. I have a poster of it in my cube at work so I can stare at it and daydream.


This is just a picture of my kids (plus my husband is way off in the background) walking along the shore of Big Beach.

I hope to make it back to Maui one day, hopefully when I have alot more time to spend there.
