Snorkeling!
We are working on making our pictures a little better from our adventures (underwater cameras are not exactly the best at taking pictures), but today we snorkeled again. Actually we snorkeled yesterday as well--where I got completely thrashed by the surf and beach at Big Beach (along Makena Drive). After yesterday I got ill (think seasickness) and basically slept, drank a lot of water and didn't want to move, etc. Turns out yesterday was not such a great day to snorkel, but hey what are you going to do. Back to today--we went out to Ahihi Bay (also along Makena Drive, south side of Maui) and although we had to deal with a gravelly beach, the snorkeling was SO much better.
First, the weather was much more cooperative. The surf was calmer and the sun was out making it a lot less murky and easier to see the fish. Second, after being thrashed I figured I had nothing to lose today even though my stomach was still queasy from yesterday's thrashing. We saw all sorts of fish including a bunch of yellow tangs and striped fish (think Finding Nemo). A black tang came up and actually brushed my leg--I got so startled that I had to get out of the water (asthma kicked in). Using my inhaler and getting sunburnt was the price I had to pay, but it was a lot of fun.
Not a lot else has happened. This morning we went out to Stella Blue's for breakfast; very good, Chris and I had the Loco Moco which honestly has been the largest Loco Moco ever. Normally it is two small ice cream scoop sized rice balls with a normal sized hamburger patty, one egg and brown gravy. Today's was an entire salad bowl full of rice, a huge patty, two eggs and 2 cups of gravy. Ugh. I ate half of mine before deciding to quit. We went to Da Kitchen for lunch--since my stomach was queasy (I think my stomach does not like snorkeling) so I had a bowl of saimen (noodles).
Work is creeping up already. I have finished purging all of the random junk from my work email, but alas...soon I will return to cold wintery Seattle and work. Yay! I am looking forward to less humidity though, and my friend Andrew will be arriving next weekend for a brief visit.
Oh...and no upgrade options for First Class to fly back to Seattle. I know, how pathetic am I? :)
