Aloha!


July 11th will start our honeymoon in Hawaii.....we decided Charleston we could always do on short notice....but 7 nights in Hawaii that takes a little more time. I am afraid if we wait, we won't be able to do all the outdoor activities Maui has to offer....
I am really excited about our hotel, ocean front views of the sunset each night...really cushy looking beds and a great beach. But we aren't the lay on the beach all day kind of people....so here is what else we have planned.
We rented a Jeep for the week so we can do some things on our own......and hopefully find some spots that aren't too croweded.
*Bike down a volcano
*Hike to waterfalls and swim in the pool below
*Day trip to Oahu to visit Pearl Harbor
*Catamaran trip to snorkel and see all the life below
*Drive the road to Hana
*Day trip to the Big Island to visit Volcano National Park
*Visit a Quilt Shop - Go Postal never heard of Hawaiian Applique, he needs to learn!
*Watch the sunrise from atop Haleakala Nationinal Park's Summit with my new husband....watching a sunrise above the cloud layer they say is a sacred experience. I may not have entertained this idea normally....the 3am departure will be less painful due to Hawaii's time being 6 hours behind North Carolina.
Yep think this trip will merit packing up the big Nikon

Maui is the best one of all! The road to Hana a definite. Rent a car on Oahu and drive all the way around the island and don't miss the Arizona memorial of course. Don't forget the major sunscreen! Have a wonderful time!
