You may have heard me complaining that I didn't want to go. Well, I went. And I LOVED it- flights be darned. Bassnblvd was right- I was being a weenie. Here are some pics from the trip, although they don't even begin to tell how awesome of a trip it was.

In the airport in Orlando, to catch a flight to Atlanta, then to L.A., then to Maui:

We visited some friends on Oahu. This is me jumping into Waimea Bay:

What an awesome trip. You MUST go.

We told you so....

Looks like you and the wife had an awesome trip. I'm glad you decided to go.  My panic attack would have started on the escalator in the airport :'(.

Is that a marshmallow with legs and arms jumping off the cliff in the 3rd picture ?

What about your move to Kansas?

I was thinking along the same lines.  Of course,that logic defies the notion  "White Men Can't Jump" 

Yes, the guy jumping off the rock is a little...doughy. As far as the flights, they were fine except the flight from Maui to L.A. That one was rough as heck. I had three xanax and five glasses of wine to deal with it (not suggested). But it was an AWESOME time. It helped me deal with my fear of flying by showing me what I would have missed. Because of that we are planning a trip to England next year.

Glad you folks had a great trip.Those are some real nice pictures also.

Are those sugar cane sticks in the last picture?

A local mexican place around me sells 'em and I can't get enough of 'em 

i loved maui i hope we go back to hawaii soon in a couple years

Maui has to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Thanks for the pics.

A little wine before a flight never hurt anyone --- unless you are the pilot.
