Putting In Paradise

The reason I like this photo is it's blurry/dreamy vibe. Golfing on Maui is the dream of many golfers.

The Spiral Tree

Around Makawao Town--Three

There are places to discover in Makawao town where there's only peace and serenity, and they're tucked away between the tiny stores.

Fun In The Sun and Water

Continuing on our walk around the neighborhood, I saw a happy family showering at the free beach showers--a good thing to do after swimming to wash the ocean saltwater off one.

Afternoon Sky

Vow Renewal

Maui is one of the prime destinations for weddings, vow renewals, and celebrations of love.

Fancy or Local?

There are several ways to shop for produce on Maui. The first photo is taken at the South Maui Safeway store. The second photo is taken at the Kahului open-air Tuesday market at Maui Mall.

The presentation is different, and so are the PRICES!

Bring It On

From The Vault--Take Three

This waterfall and swimming hole beneath it was the first waterfall I ever swam in when I moved to Maui. It was on private land in Haiku, and my gatekeeper showed me where it was. A gatekeeper is one who teaches you the ropes, shows you the shortcuts, and shows you where the best of everything is--and I was blessed with not one, but TWO gatekeepers when I moved to Maui many years ago.

I came to this waterfall and swam in its icy water many a time, sunned on the nearby rocks and brought my friends here too. Alas, many years ago the property was sold, and access to this enchanted waterfall and pool was closed, so now I only have great memories of time spent here.

Bumper Stickers Speak For Spirit

What more can I say than Bumper Stickers speak words of wisdom? Hana is a precious place--a place of retreat, a place of redemption, a place of peace and quiet.

Hana is where you go to when you really need to get away and don't want to leave Maui but really need to leave the BUSY commercial Maui.

When Two Become Four

Big news on Maui is that the long awaited Mokulele Highway expansion has now been completed. This is the main road from South Maui to the commercial/airport/industrial part of Maui, and now we will hopefully find less traffic congestion. The speed limit is still posted at 45 mph, although some people are driving 60 mph.
