So we've been running around the island having a great time. The other day we drove down to the south end of the island to check out a few of the beaches and have lunch. We parked south of the Grand Wahalea and walked into the hotel pool area via the beach. This place is actually just a Vegas hotel that has been transplanted to Hawaii. Its a fuckin circus in the pool area and the hotel is 15 stories high. BUT there is good food there. So we had lunch and then headed to the part of the road that starts to get a little rough. We were looking for big beach and little beach, which i had read are the little secrets of Maui. Well the secret is out. There were about 300 cars parked in the two lots for big beach and we had quite a hike to the sand. We walked along big beach and then headed over the point to little beach, which does have a little secret itself. Its the only agreed upon nude beach on Maui. Even though its illegal, its just not patrolled. So we took a walk down little beach and promptly left. There were just too many damn ugly people without clothes on. We headed down to look at the lava flows and then drove back.

We've eaten at about every place we can, and we're at the point in the trip where we'll have to repeat a few. Jen and I headed to Sansai for dinner a second time, just cause the sushi puts anything in los angeles to shame. The wait was an hour, but we managed to get a seat at the bar within 2 minutes of walking in the door.

Today we got up early and went to Honalua bay just north of Kapalua. This is by far the best location for diving i have seen yet on the island. Its in a natural preserve and the fish are in HUGE numbers there. We just sat by the pool today after that and took it easy. We're heading back to Honalua bay in the morning again. Its the best way to do it. We were the first people there and when we got out there were no less than 20 cars parked on the highway and far more people in the water. We're planning on being in the water by about 7AM, so that should guarantee us at least a half hour before anybody else shows up.

I took about 400 pictures over the last 2 days, but i am just too damn lazy to process any of them right now. This stupid g3 portable is about the slowest thing i could possibly have with me. So i'll do a huge post again when i get the time.

BTW if anybody saw the season finale of the Dead Zone (and knows about next season), is Frank Whaley's character going to be in the next season, or was that just a one shot thing. Just cause i thought the entire concept of a future character talking to John Smith was fucking great. The gotta keep him in next season.

well off to bed.
