Aloha!


Yay - we have booked our next holiday!!  To Hawaii.  We have been before - in fact, it was our first proper holiday together - and we love it.  Specifically, we love Maui.  The picture above is one of squillions I took of the beautiful Maui sunsets we enjoyed on the last trip in early 2008.  Yep, it is really like that every day.

So anyway, with the AUD so strong we thought we'd take advantage of it - bit of a spur of the moment decision & I'm so excited!  We're going on 30th July, for 2 whole weeks.  First 3 nights will be spent on the Big Island.  We're keen to see the active volcano and the lava flow, etc.  There are cool hikes you can do through the craters of some of inactive ones too.  So we're staying in this gorgeous treehouse place in Volcano village.  Looks soooo nice.  And then we're off to Maui for 9 fabulous nights.  Ahhh ... Maui.  I can't bloody wait!  Still sorting out accomm  for that, but it will definitely be oceanfront in Kihei for more fun in the sun & enjoyment of those sunsets.  Then it's off to Honolulu for the last 2 nights.  We have been there before & so all we really want to do there is shop - hello Ala Moana, I'm a comin' !!

Woo hoo!!  Just because I'm excited, here are some more pics from that previous trip.
