Well boys and girls... it's been another fun ride. For those of you that have been to Maui you know what a nice little slice of paradise this is. For the others, add it to your bucket list! Today was my last day but given that my flight doesn't leave until 11:30 PM, I went on an all day snorkeling trip. I figured I'd get good and tired out so I'd sleep on the plane! It was a blast. Wish I would have brought an underwater camera. Saw lots of sea turtles and plenty of cool fish. I was bummed that we didn't get to snorkel at the Molokini volcano crater, which is supposed to be the best here, but since the winds were blowing right into the crater and it would have been too choppy, they found a few other sites and they were great. OK, caution... snob alert ahead... while it was nice snorkeling, once you've snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, it's all down hill from there! LOL. After spending the whole day snorkeling, I was beat and just came back to the hostel to shower and get all packed up. I'm about ready to leave in a bit to go grab some dinner and head over to the airport. The one picture I attached is my new retirement option. If you look up in the top right hand corner of the picture you'll see a little pop-up van. Would that be a cool view to wake up to every day or what?? LOL. I'm not sure where my next adventure will be yet. But where ever it is, you'll all be along for the ride...unless you click the opt out button! I'm debating between New Zealand, Machu Picchu or Costa Rice... or what the heck, why not all three! It probably won't be for a little bit. Going to spend some time back in Charlotte with friends and family. Also have some weekend trips planned with my kids (Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY and trip back to Pittsburgh to watch the Penguins beat the Flyers in hockey. Go Pens!) Mahalo (thanks) to everyone for following along. Aloha! Jeff
