When I got this e-mail a few minutes ago I thought of Terminator......I don't know why.....

Is that Dick Cheney in the tub?  Looks like him......

Term, being a Shiner Bock drinker, would probably not enjoy the Coors in the photo, or at least be able to detect any flavor.  

Wonder how he keeps his optics clear in all that steam?

I thought about that, but I'm not smart enough to make changes to pics....  

I haven't posted here in awhile, but have spent the last few days reading and catching up.  

Oh yea...in case anyone cares to know...I LEAVE IN 4 DAYS FOR MAUI....

I'd be happy to tell you all about it when I get back!  I'm so excited about this trip; have never been to Hawaii before; we are going with a couple that has been there, so they are our "tour guides", so to speak.  One thing....it ain't cheap!  We rented a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, Ocean Front Condo on the West side in Lahaina.  If you haven't been, go to tripadvisor.com.  Alot of reviews on the different resorts/hotels, etc.  

OOOOO!  I am going to go there fall of 2008, please give me any tips!

Go in Feb, that is when the whales are migrating through.

As to the deer stand, I thought about taking a picture like that when I saw some of your yards. (Who is it that has the webcam?)   All I could shoot from my tub is squirrels and stray cats. (Other things that political correctness prevents me from mentioning. )  Check with your state laws, your tub might need to be 150 yards from your house to fire legally

They actually start in November (I think) through end of March, early April.  That's one of the things we plan on doing, go whale watching, and do the Sunrise Tour to Halekea, snuba'ing, take the road to Hana and the Lahaina Luau...our resort has free Mai Tai nights on Thursday's, so no plans for Thursday except hang out and drink Mai Tai's!!!!! WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!

We went to Maui in 2005. Had a wonderful trip. We went out on the whale watching trip - I didn't think it was worth doing again. I love boats, and being on the water and all, and it was a nice day for it, but we only saw a few whales from a great distance. I have seen much more detail and felt closer by watching a video.

The tour we were on had a naturalist on board, so we couldn't make any jokes or have any fun. He was so excited because aparently one of the black fins we barely saw belonged to an adelescent. I can't remember how he knew, but he did. He, of course, had binoculars... maybe he counted it's rings or something.

But he got so excited - he told us this was rare, and that the mother would be along any moment now. An hour later she hadn't shown up. We finally moved on. Poor little whale - may have been an orphan.

On the way back into the harbor we had to detour to go around a flock of sea turtles. That was cool - I have no idea how the captain saw them, but we were glad he didn't run them down. Would have killed the natrualist I'm very sure. And it would have been a bummer too, of course.

We had a nice buffet on board, and I sure didn't see anyone getting sick. The boat was a catarmaran and very stable, even when we were stopped.

We had a rental car, and we did all the touristy things. One thing we were very bummed about - the trip up to the top of the volcano. We looked up at the thing in the morning, and it was clouded over. I knew it, and the travel folks had to know it. It had been that way every morning since we arrived. But they didn't offer us any option - we were booked so we went.

When we got there, we saw the inside of a cloud. It was so bad that we actually could not clearly see the back end of the 40' long bus when standing in front of it. We stopped at one point on the way down when we got a break in the clouds. It made for some nice photo-ops, but the rest of the trip was a complete waste of time.

Lunch was nice...

You had a naked guy on board?

[Dr. Spa™ Ret.]

Who said it was a guy?

Chas did.  

"He was so excited..."


Must have been akward sitting in a tiny boat, next to a very excited naked guy.

Whatever you do, make sure you see Warren & Annabelle's Magic Show in Lahaina.  You'll be hurting from laughter at the end... great show.  And may I recommend having dinner beforehand at the Ruth's Chris Steakhouse a block away.
