I WON

[Steve]

Thanks Deb. It is nothing like what you won, but still two nice things that except for the time getting the points will be free. This site has been more than kind to me in this upcoming trip to Maui. I enjoy it alot too. Take good care, Steve

[VegasKawika]

Free is always good

[Steve]

Free is generally fantastic. I have saved so much dinar I may spring for a trip to Mamas and blow away all that I saved. We shall see how time and other factors play out. Seems like the Maui calendar is pretty full and I like nothing on it save--Mon thru Sat SNORKEL and Sunday church and SNORKEL

[VegasKawika]

Hana?

[Steve]

No Hana, probably go to Kahakuloa and for sure Ulupalakua and of course Airport Beach most every day we are not on the other side of the island.

[VegasKawika]

We didn't make the Hana trek but we did go to Haleakala

[Steve]

We always spend a good deal of time Up Country, but do not go to the top/ranger station at Haleakala every trip. Too much time on the road and weather is always a factor. We will almost always get as far as Kula

[VegasKawika]

Haleakala was amazing but darn cold. Stupid us only wore shorts and t-shirts ...tourists

[mystical pippin]

I was wondering if that was you Steve. Pretty Cool winning not one but TWO prizes!

[Steve]

yes joni it was me, and it was very cool. will be using winnings between1 and 30 Sept while on Maui.

[mystical pippin]

isn't that twice this year - you've been to hawaii?

[Steve]

Hi Joni, wish it were true, but was last in Hawaii in July of last year, so will be 13 months when I return since we were last there. I am starting to pack, we have a 7 am flight one week tomorrow.

[VegasKawika]

Steve, can you fed-ex some Matsumoto's shave ice?

[Steve]

Not sure they have that brand name on Maui

[VegasKawika]

Any will do

[Steve]

Ate alot of ice cream but not one shaved ice this trip--Thought about it a few times, ended up with ice cream and the old scales show it.

[Kathi]

Shave Ice a necessity this next trip!

[Lika]

I agree Kathi! I've been craving it and we didn't get any on our last trip.

[Kathi]

There's just something so Hawaiian about it!

[Steve]

Give two scoops of Lapperts--passion fruit sherbert. Now that is good

[MIsnowbirds]

Shave ice was good...BUT...Dave's chocolate macadamia nut ice cream was delicious! closely followed by the pineapple ice cream! OK...not good thinking about this already!

12 weeks to go...counting, counting, counting...

[Kathi]

Fresh Mango, Fresh Pineapple, Fresh Avacado, Fresh Fish ...

[MIsnowbirds]

apple bananas, kiwi, and POG!

[Kathi]

Kahlua Pig and Poi

[hawaiionmymind]

Alright Deb and Kathi, are you trying to make me heart sick for all the wonderful foods and smells and sights of Hawaii? Oh go ahead and keep naming stuff, I'm really enjoying it. I love that everything is fresh there. Nothing tastes better. Yummy.
