only 2 weeks and 3 days?!
whoa! i can't believe it's only 2 weeks and 3 days til hawaii! it crept up so fast! i think we still thought it was far away, so we haven't really been booking our activities or felt the need to do so. on friday we finally looked at the luau and were going to book it "later" we said. good thing i just said, well, might as well do it now. and it was such a good thing we did! cuz the old lahaina luau was already booked for their traditional seating (you sit on pillows on the floor with a low table). so we thankfully booked the conventional seating (on regular chairs and tables). we put on the notes that we would like traditional seating if possible, but we were just thankful to get in on the night we wanted to go there. we totally forgot that we're going to be in maui through labor day weekend, so most places will be so crowded. i'm glad we'll be in oahu after the long weekend. i'm hoping that the crowds will be departing on monday, just as we are arriving.
ooh, any good recommendations for anything? i've never been to maui before. henry has, so we're gonna do the normal touristy stuff, snorkeling at molokini, the road to hana drive, and sunrise at haleakala. any other suggestions?
at oahu, i've been there and explored more than henry has, so i'm gonna take him atv-ing, and he really wants to ride the mopeds. i've never done that before and i figured, sure why not? i can ride a bike and the atv thing i picked up on not too slowly, so i should be fine right? well, after cici's crash with the moped's, i'm a bit more nervous about it now. i told henry, let's try just riding a bike first one day and then we'll rent a moped okay? so wish me luck and say a lil prayer that we crash neither bike, nor moped, nor atv okay?
oh and no portuguese man of war stings either please!

-
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
