closer to Europe on the Spanish holiday beach.
The following are my top five beach ...

... for celebrating two people uniting. A wedding
near a water fall is most exciting. For a number of people this could be a
dream come true, yet others prefer to stay indoors for a wedding keeping their
garments clean and sand free.

Couples can also choose helicopter wedding. In
this type of wedding the couples fly by a helicopter to the top of mountain and
make their wedding there. Some simple wedding can also be arranged in churches,
chapels and temples ...

... drafts etc in US dollars. The condos we rented were very well equipped, including boogie boards, other swimming and beach gear, folding chairs, coolers and more. Ours had a big flatscreen TV and smaller ones in the bedrooms, as well as having great ocean views off the lanai (balcony/deck).

The first afternoon we just got settled in, did some grocery shopping at ...

... do a little shopping.  I got a silver plumeria charm to remember our trip by and we picked up a couple of other things, including some Teddy Grahams to snack on! Finished with our browsing, we walked back to our resort to get the car and drive to Kapalua to go to Sansei Sushi for dinner.  We had a cocktail and then some wine and some amazing sushi.  I had some miso soup, a roll, and the ahi tartar and every single morsel of it was excellent.  I just can't get ...

We've been flying Hawaiian a lot this trip, and I think they do a very good job. We landed at Kahului on Maui, got yet another rental (a real gas hog Chrysler, this time) and set out on the Road to Hana. For those that don't know, the Road to Hana is one of the "must-drive ...

... with Captain Kim Miyaki (see Miyaki Fish Market) because he's got a charter too and goes out with you. I figure that in the very least, if we catch nothing, I want to learn everything I can from him about fish, which to eat in what way, etc. Did I mention that he's cute? www.mauibluewaterfishing.com Horseback riding We took the morning ride at Mendes ...

There were lots of oil bubbles rising to the surface, which has been leaking since 1941, the Americans seem to think they symbolise the tears of the 2500 people that died on the ship. Although Waikiki beach had lovely white sand and clear blue seas, in was really overcrowded and towered by high rise ...

... carefully to the teacher chant and keep the rhythm on a huge gourd drum. I was interested to hear the clear difference between singing and chanting. Although he did change pitch a many times, there was a monotone element to the whole thing. It was definitely not sung - much less so than something like a Gregorian chant. Another interesting element was the way the dancers answer the chanter at different times - antiphonal chanting! After demonstrating different ...

... system and gave his usual spiel of weather and flight times. Then he said, "Those of you who have flown this route before know that, at this time of year, we can encounter a fair bit of turbulence. Please keep your seat belts fastened.
