Back from Maui

Written by on January 26, 2012 · Leave a Comment

We arrived home this morning around 7am from our red-eye flight from Hawaii.  The first class cabin was comfortable enough to get some sleep in, but it wasn’t very comfortable sleep, so we both took a nap when we got home.  Since waking up I haven’t done much today; I just had some cleanup to do around the house and some updating to do online on some blogs.  I also am writing some reviews on the last couple of books that I read and will be posting them to my reading blog over at www.readingrookie.com

From the Maui trip, I have some additional photos and a couple of videos to post.  I’d love to hear comments on them.

Maui – Road to Hana

Written by on January 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment

Yesterday we drove the road to Hana, which is a 33-mile-or-so drive up a road through a mountain, which snaks along the edge of the island on the North-North East edges.  It took aboout 3 hours to drive the 33 miles trip, but that was due to severral stops for photos and the limited spped limit, and of course the tight turns where youy have no choice to but slow down.  It was a very fun drive overall, but tiring.  Emily and I both took some good photos wwith oour phones.  I made the mistake of leaving the media card for my camera at home.  Rookie mistake, I know, but these days I don’t consider myseelf a professional photographer.  I’m not sure I ever reaally did.  I am an avid amaateur, with 20 years experience.

Today is beach day.  We have noothiing planned but to lie on the beach.  Tonight we are taking in a L

Arrived in Maui

Written by on January 20, 2012 · Leave a Comment

We arrived in Maui last night, it was about 8pm Hawaii time which made it around midnight Dallas time.  It took about 30 minutes to drive to the Hotel Wailea where we will be stayiing this week.  Emily went right toi sleep because it was late for her, but since I’m used to being up late with my current work schedule, I stayed up and watched a bit of TV and also started a new book.

Today we’re probably just going to chill around the hotel and relax oon the beach.  This hotel is pretty cool the way it is laid out; its rooms are all separated into cabin-style buildings, and each building is spread outookseach.  jhhthat looks down oon the beach.  Its almost like bungalows I guess.
