The county workers put in long hours to clean it up! There are signs of what happened, but Maui recovers quickly. One day the rain poured as if we’re in Seattle, the next day the sun is shining, birds singing, and we’re watching the now clean palm trees sway in the breeze. I love the rain in Kihei because it’s cleansing and renewing. The mountains are the most vibrant greens contrasted off the beautiful hues of the blue ocean! This is the time to be here with your camera. The Humpback Whales are leaping for joy between the contrasts of color, the air is sweet and fresh to breath, the sun is warm and inviting. Beautiful white sand beaches are beckoning sun bathers. AA Ocean front Condo Rentals & Sales is filling up quickly as people are seeing what a paradise Maui is. So break away from the snow and work routine. Come to Maui and be renewed. <a href="http://www.aaoceanfront.com/">www.aaoceanfront.com</a> </div>AA Oceanfront Rentals and Saleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14108335274684773159noreply@blogger.com42tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580840388536959438.post-70456840663342539162010-12-30T11:34:00.000-08:002010-12-30T11:39:01.371-08:00Rainbows & whales in Maui<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TRzfpE22RnI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/6vfQTOaeeH4/s1600/cocnut%2Btree.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556561937039771250" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 125px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 94px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TRzfpE22RnI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/6vfQTOaeeH4/s200/cocnut%2Btree.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>If you aren’t here in Maui having Christmas and New Years on the beach, hanging stockings from a coconut tree, than we feel for you!

Not a day for a dress. But it is a wonderful day to be out kite surfing or sailing on the ocean . That’s one of the fun things about Maui, no matter the weather, there is always something fun to do. Just look out and see, should I go driving, diving or sail today? Kihei and Lahaina have the most to offer, depending on your style, we have it. You know, some days I just want a slow time warp where there is hardly any traffic or noise. We have that too! I love going to Jaws! In the winter the waves get to be over 50 feet high and helicopters drop surfers on top of them to ride the waves to the shore line where the cliffs are lined with people like me in awe of the raw power of the ocean and mans drive to conquer it. The view is Breath taking! But I will talk more on this when the waves are HUGE!!!

Maui has some awesome sites to experience even if you’ve never done it before. I for one am a lazy diver. That means boat diving for me. Shore diving is beautiful but on a boat there is someone to help me into the vessel, change my gear for me, help me get into my gear again for the next dive and then they do all the cleaning afterwards! How much better can it get? My experience with many shore dives, is, fight through the surf carrying about 75 lbs of gear, walk though waves, fight to get my fins on, long surface swims, then coming back is the worst! I always seam to get knocked down and pummeled in the sand somewhere along the exit route. Then I have to haul my tired carcass through the surf, drag myself up the shore, then stagger to the shower where I am grateful to be relieved of my 75lb burden. Then comes the break down and cleaning. Ugh! So, if offered a choice it’s a no brainer to me, boat every time! Maui has many to choose from and I have tried most. B&B Scuba is my favorite. They are personal and make everyone feel like your part of their Ohana (family) before the trip is done. The journey starts early and after 2 dives the trip is usually finished by 10am leaving the rest of the day for more fun activities to be enjoyed. Lets get wet! Check these guys out: <a href="http://www.bbscuba.comb/">http://www.bbscuba.comb/</a> Be sure to make your condo reservation now so you can dive with the whales!!!AA Oceanfront Rentals and Saleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14108335274684773159noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580840388536959438.post-39644988224283822412010-12-09T12:20:00.000-08:002010-12-09T12:35:07.834-08:00motorcycle ride in Maui<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TQE9YsjLcBI/AAAAAAAAACc/xIVor7hInqY/s1600/bike.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548783710382026770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TQE9YsjLcBI/AAAAAAAAACc/xIVor7hInqY/s200/bike.bmp" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Today I got together with a few friends to cruise around the island of Maui on our motorcycles. We start in Kihei and go to Lahaina or Wailuku, or upcountry if it’s a hot day. The experience is awesome. Even though I do it a lot I never get tired of it. There are so many flowers, trees in bloom, the ocean, the country, towns, that a huge part of the experience is breathing deep and enjoying not only the exquisite views but the smells, the temperature changes on your bare arms and more. If you ride a motorcycle, or even a convertible, you HAVE to breath deep! So many people forget to enjoy life with all their senses. There is so mush more then just site. So, come on… get on over here to Maui and feel what I am talking about. Leave your problems for awhile and try something different.

Here is your chance to hike the crater for fee! Drive up to the 10,000 foot high summit just before sunrise where there is plenty of parking. Enjoy the breath taking experience of seeing the sun rise as if it coming from inside the crater itself. You will see how it got its name, Haleakala, which mean, “house of the rising sun”. Bring sturdy shoes and abundant amounts of water because your about to enter another world. The crater is the closest thing to being on the moon we will ever get to be! Provided for us are trails down into the dormant volcano where life becomes a prehistoric place with plants growing no where else in the world. You will most likely see the endangered Nene Geese, the giant Silver Sword, and too much more to mention. Just come and see for yourself!

It beats to its own drum. You have a choice to dance with the beat or the beat will smash you! This is obvious with the ever changing stores, construction and infrastructure pushing Maui to progress with the times. But Maui has a way of holding on to its roots; the past is very alive. So many places have been lovingly restored and protected by people who saw the future and what would happen if they didn’t take action. I for one, am very grateful to these Kapuna (elders) for their wisdom and concern for the Aina (land). When you come to Maui, take a hike in Iao Valley and feel the awesomeness of this lush valley containing the only fresh water river that Maui has to offer! If you want to really experience Maui for what she has, talk to real locals (kamaiana). Most are happy to share the old ways to a willing heart & ear. For instance, while on deliberation from jury duty, a Tutu (gramma) taught us how to make roses from Ti leafs. I am always thrilled to learn from our Kapuna. Hope you have the chance to learn something new while you’re here too. There are so many opportunities if you are looking for then.

When you come, plan on coming and feasting on this bounty Maui has to offer, there is so much to learn and taste, for instance, did you know there are different kinds of pineapple? The plant produces fruit once a year for 3 years then dies. First year fruit is what you find in the can. Second is shipped off island for others to enjoy but the very best is the 3rd year, so sweet and juicy! It is so ono (good) that it doesn’t leave the island unless you take it with you! There is also a “red” pineapple. You’ve got to try this one. It doesn’t have the acid that the yellow has so I can eat the entire pineapple myself, so juicy! Yum. Check it out, if you like pineapple, you will love the red!</div>AA Oceanfront Rentals and Saleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14108335274684773159noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580840388536959438.post-54380741682156381212010-11-10T13:55:00.000-08:002010-11-10T13:58:03.620-08:00Wailea in Maui<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TNsVRkRVhmI/AAAAAAAAABs/hn3TYpQ9gKI/s1600/wow.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538043558320506466" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 175px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TNsVRkRVhmI/AAAAAAAAABs/hn3TYpQ9gKI/s200/wow.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TNsVLK_Ts9I/AAAAAAAAABk/t5pYT3OMmik/s1600/WOW%252520dancers.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538043448454788050" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 165px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 125px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TNsVLK_Ts9I/AAAAAAAAABk/t5pYT3OMmik/s200/WOW%252520dancers.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Here it is again, FREE time.

I love sharing with you as much as I can about what to do on Maui and free is what I look for. This December on the 4-5th we have a tree lighting ceremony at the Banyon Tree in Lahaina. If you have not seen this beautiful tree that brings the Tom Sawyer imagination alive in every age, then you’ve got to take the time to see it, walk under the tree that consumes one city block. The only place I can think of that has such a tree would be the Amazon Jungle! During the tree lighting ceremony there will be food booths, crafts and displays. Come and see this tree light up the night to kick off you Christmas season.<br />Contact 808.667.9175 or email at <a href="mailto:web.request@visitlahaina.com">web.request@visitlahaina.com </a>if you have any questions.

At the end where the party is there will be a luau waiting with fire dancers, hula dancers, several bands, music, and an awesome sunset view. Tickets are $40 pre sale $50 day of event.

My instructor, who was as kind and professional as he could be, with all the politeness and grace he could muster through his tears of laughter, told me I should never leave the driving range, and even then come late so no one could see how much grass was flying! I took his advice. So resigning myself to the driving range I’ve found it does wonders to work off pinned up aggression!! Know what I mean? Maui has so many courses to choose from that there is almost always going to be a T-time available somewhere. Personally, I like to drive the cart and whack the ball (polo style) but I guess that’s not looked well upon! Opps! Hehehe. </div>AA Oceanfront Rentals and Saleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14108335274684773159noreply@blogger.com22tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580840388536959438.post-66098289048148379722010-10-18T16:29:00.000-07:002010-10-18T16:42:06.850-07:00Triple Crown Surfing MAui<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TLzZP4Ly89I/AAAAAAAAAA0/rncQZJ8nDpw/s1600/surfleft.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529533309307253714" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_30GbGlT3-fI/TLzZP4Ly89I/AAAAAAAAAA0/rncQZJ8nDpw/s200/surfleft.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I know some of you enjoy the physical challenge of surfing.

I have been parasailing and if parachuting is anything like it, I can’t wait!!! I can only imagine the view, seeing the fishing in the ocean below. If your really adventurous try out hang gliding or the gliders with small engines from the high elevations of the majestic Haleakala landing in lush green fields with a few cattle to great you!
