Jan 26, 2013 - Upcountry Gem

Hard to believe we have been here a week already. I must admiththough that I have completely lost track of the days, one just seems to run into the next. I was up early again to watch the sun come up and checked my email. We had a sad message this morning. Our friend John Johnson, who is the same age as Dianne, is in hospital with heart problems.

When we first arrived in Lahaina, I was checking out a fruit tree when a fellow named Steve offered us some...

Feb 20, 2009 - Delay To Whale Watch.

Yes it is true. There was a four car accident that closed the highway about three hours. We had to turn around and headed for Makawao instead and checked out the area. We went down to the beach and checked out some surfers on the big waves at Hookipa Park. We may check out the pub down the street after dinner to do a bit of boogieing with out the board. Brad :)
