Bye Bye Maui

As we retreat from the heat of the day to carefully pack-up our over-full bags (grr, I wish I were a better packer), we close our suitcases and our time in Maui.

Highlights have included:
- Hanging out with our friends for the first week
- Our second snorkel trip to "the fishbowl" where I encountered and swam through a huge school of fish
- Mama's fish house
- Chocolate soufflé at Roy's
- Playing paddle ball, my new fave sport
- Going to the ABC store (I just love that place)
- Drinking Jamba juices
- Walking along the paved ocean-front pathway in Wailea
- Drinking the sangria that we made (I have a secret ingredient which does wonders every time)
- Enjoying the weather which was miraculously fab the whole time
- Playing tennis
- Taking surfing lessons
- Playing in the ocean until my lips feel like I've eaten a million tortilla chips
- Reading on the beach

Some items left to be desired:
- Seeing a turtle while snorkelling
- Hana's waterfalls (carsickness doesn't allow me to go, although maybe Nathan could pull an A-Team on me so I suddenly 'fall into a deep sleep' for the car ride)
- More surfing
- Skimboarding (although I guess I can do that at Spanish Banks since we'll live close by)
- Fresh pineapples and mangoes
- Warm weather (I’d be happy to live in this kind of heat the whole time and just take ski trips!)

Better go to sleep, it's 11:30pm now and our 3am wake up will come alarmingly (no pun intended - ha ha) soon.
