Hawaii - Whales, Seals, Surf, Narrow Lanes, and A Huge Banyan (21 JAN 2009)

Aloha,

arose waaaay pre-sunrise for an early morning whale watch outing. It is humpback whale season here in Hawaii this time of year. Here you'll get the highlights accompanied to Lono's music. For more on Lono, click here:

And, a lucky moment with Hawaiian Monk Seals (zoomed in from a respectable distance):



One of Hawaii's largest Banyan trees (originally from India):



The afternoon drive brought about some surfing (as a 'spectator sport'!!), some grindz, and some scenic one-lane convertible cruising. have a look.

Maui Winter Surfing:




The following three video clips (pre-lunch, lunch, post-lunch) show you what Hawaii looks like sans development. This road eventually peters down into a rural one-lane (just to be clear, that's ONE LANE total, not one lane in each direction).

Pre-lunch:



Local Lunch Stop:



Post-lunch:



Back at the picked-on-purpose-despite-way-past-due-for-renovation-'$100-suite', here is what met the eye between 5-6PM. We really love this spot and Camilla has decided to use this property for those who aren't too fussy, but is really hoping those renovation dollars will become available sooner than later. Fabulous location!


And for the whole sunset experience from outside and inside the due-for-reno suite, here is that video clip (by default, this one includes 'The Decision' commentary):



And thereby ends the day - with plenty of Aloha!
Snorkeling tomorrow morning.

A hui hou,
Kepani & Kamila
