Slimer Update

So Harrison (aka) Slimer is getting on well with his big brother and resident autistic psychopath, Luigi.  CeCe doesn't seem to mind him much either.

Maui 2017 - Part 6 (Mantokuji Mission of Paia)

It's only fitting that this is the last post about our trip to Maui. As often as we can, we like to stop and photograph interesting cemeteries and graveyards. We passed this one heading home one day and decided to stop and shoot under the setting sun. Pics by me and her.

Maui 2017 - Part 5 (Ali'i Kula Lavender Garden and Stickers)

During one of our rides we stopped at Ali'i Kula Lavender Garden. This is a really pretty spot to walk around for a bit. Lots of pretty landscape and amazing plant life.

Maui 2017 - Part 4 (Snorkeling)

This could have been lumped in with Part 3, but I feel it deserves it's own post. I shot the underwater pics and videos with my waterproof Pentax Optio, which kinda sucks. I should probably invest in a GoPro at some point.

Maui 2017 - Part 3 (Animals!)

When traveling, especially to far away places, animals are always on my radar. Whether wild or domestic, endemic or invasive, we are always interested.  There's nothing more intriguing that getting off an airplane and hearing bird sounds you've never heard. Like food, this is one of my favorite things about traveling. Here is a collection of some animal highlights from the trip...

Maui 2017 - Part 2 (Food)

I have to say, the food on Maui was outstanding. I knew it would be good, but just how good surpassed my expectations. This was really nice, since to me, eating is one of the best things about traveling. Back home in Reno, we seldom get really good food. And you can forget about sushi,  Japanese and good seafood in general.  So naturally we had our palates set to indulge in a most glutinous fashion on as much of this as possible.  This post contains photos of all the food we ate, quite literally, for the week we spent on Maui. If you are hungry right now, go no further, because it will be tough to satisfy your appetite after this!

OK, so this one isn't from Maui, but the food we brought on the plane from SFO to get us primed up for some good Asian food.

Maui 2017 - Part 1 (General Photos)

This year, we decided to check out Maui instead of Mexico for our spring vacation.  Below are some general shots from what turned out to be a very nice, relaxing trip!

Upon arrival, the skies were heavy, gray and dumping rain.
