MAUI

For those of you who don't know, Roy and I recently went to Maui and Kauai as part of our delayed honeymoon (I didn't have enough time off from school to do the trip justice right after our wedding so we delayed a bit). Let me tell you it was well worth the wait! We had a blast! Here a few pictures from Maui:

The photo above is from these trees we affectionately called the "bendy trees" about 5 miles from our hotel the Sheraton Maui Resort (where Jillian from the Bachelorette shacked up while she was in Maui).

This photo is of Roy and I going snorkeling off Black Rock. We really like to snorkel and have been to some pretty impressive sites so the reef was not our main interest - we were on the hunt for sea turtles :-).

This is near our favorite breakfast place called The Gazebo. I HIGHLY recommend you spend at least one breakfast there! Go early (after 7:30 am there is a long wait). Roy and I ate fresh pineapple and White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Pancakes (yes I capitalized that like a title because it deserves it)!

This is a photo of me right after we landed in the Maui airport. We had been up for almost 24 hours at this point :-). I love to travel but really could do without flying so I geared up with a cotton dress, cashmere sweater, neck pillow, and blanket for the 10 hours of air time (and plenty to read of course). My mother told me our flight would be about 7 hours total (3 hours from Cincy to Denver and then 4 hours from Denver to Maui)! She claims she did not lie on purpose but when I got on our second flight and the stewardess said "Total flight time 7 hours" I nearly fainted. Good thing is we had prime seats and two good movies!

This is a silhouette of historic Black Rock next to our hotel. You can see the outline of torches that they light every night before someone jumps off the rocks. Totally breaktaking. . .
