I believe I've mentioned I've been occasionally house-sitting Well one of the trades I received from my friend Mindy (for watching two delightful kitties and a cute apartment) was a year of free flights through Allegiant Airlines! I've had the opportunity to fly to California and back, offer a discount to a friend, and most recently, fly to Maui! Wren and I decided to go, and the idea was, cheap tickets, cheap vacation, and BIG FUN!
First off, our plane was delayed 5 hours, so we got to juggle and meet a nice guy named Eli from All Star Circus. He told us about Source Maui, a BurningMan-esque show on.... We ended up not going for transportation and weather reasons, but it sure sounded like fun! So rolling in around 2 in the morning, we just camped on a beach for a few hours until our hostel ride could get us... this photo above is us walking in the rain to the pick-up place.
Our next stop was a frisbee tournament (organized by a guy named Mustache Brook!) on Kapalua, right by the beach! Wren played frisbee, and I played on the beach =)
Here was our next camping spot, right on the water at camp Olowalu.
It was just a 10 minute walk from the snow cone store!
And at night, our little camp was gorgeous... and from there (and just about everywhere you see water), we saw so many wales breaching!
Public transportation was limited, so we hitched a ride into Lahaina, once in the back of a pickup truck!
Once in Lahaina, we went to see the largest Banyon tree in the US!
And this banana tree! I had no Idea this is how they were born!
Back close to our camp, we went geocaching! What a view, eh?!
Now we're bringing our little cache-prize (Sid from Ice Age) to Puerto Rico with us! All in all, we had a super nice time exploring, lounging, eating and reading books... like the one I finished, a great adventure story titled, "The girl who circumnavigated fairyland on a ship of her own making". Check it out =). And thanks Mindy, for the tickets to BIG FUN adventure!
