Christmas in Hawaii

    I realize that I have not updated my blog in a long time, but in my defence I dislocated my shoulder at the beginning of December, had very sporadic/poor internet while I was in Hawaii, do not currently even have internet at my apartment in Vancouver and did not have time while I was visiting my parents in Kamloops.  All very valid excuses, but excuses non the less. My bad :)

So once exams were finished, I hopped on a plane saturday morning and arrived in Maui that night.  I did use my Instagram app quite a bit over the break.

Mahalo Maui, until next time

I had an amazing vacation and cannot wait to go back for Christmas 2013.  We are going back to the same complex but are going to be renting a different condo.  I got my PADI Open Water Scuba Diving certification from B&B Scuba...Stan, the instructor, is the best and is incredibly funny.  My dad and I went on a zip line tour with Skyline Eco Adventures, it was a lot more fun than I expected.  Wailea is by far my favourite spot on Maui, but I also really enjoyed Paia, a surf town on the northern side of the island.  Anyone have any suggestions about where to go on Maui next time?
