relaxing...

day 1 here in maui -

this morning we woke up, i went for a quick run (no gym so i gotta do some physical activity) and then we hung out at the beach for most of the morning. we went snorkling out by the reef located just outside the condo complex. although the water wasnt super clear, i did see the hawaii state fish - the humahumanukanuaapa'a a.k.a. the reef tigerfish - a small eel and a green sea turtle.

after a few hours down at the beach, we ate lunch at maui tacos - a small mexican place - and then sat down on the grass for a while. after a quick swim in the afternoon to cool off it was off to start the burgers we were making for dinner.

tomorrow i think we are planing to hang out at the beach in the morning, then we will travel to lahina for some lunch and shopping for all the ladies. the owner of the condos is getting married tomorrow at dusk and she has invited all the guests to attend a laui dinner after the ceremony...and you know that i can never pass up a free meal! oh and then we get to light up all our fireworks...so check back for some more pics tomorrow.

here are todays photos...
