2 weeks to Maui!

I am so looking forward to this first leg of our big journey! We are off to Maui on the 29th of this month. I had originally tried to get the family timeshare condo for early September. But lucky us there was time for us in early October instead.  That puts us back to back with Camp 

Swing and India so we will be covering some serious miles in October!

After all the preparations for this extended journey I am so grateful that I will have a little time to catch up on sleep, read a little, swim, sun and cycle. If I tried to keep up this busy pace, and then immediately go off on our 3 week whirlwind tour of India,  it would have been tough to really enjoy the sights through the sleep deprived as well as jet lagged brain.

I am so pleased with my frugal trip as I think it is going to be the cheapest trip to Hawaii ever. We used miles to fly. Staying at the family condos. We can take the bus when we get off the plane and avoid having to get a rental car and buy gas altogether! Safeway is just a few minutes walk and the farmer's market is also just down the road. And best of all is this guy I found on craigslist-Lahaina who fixes and sells bikes. Turns out his most expensive one is $85 dollars so our transportation needs will be covered!

If I close my eyes and think real hard I can almost imagine the sounds of the waves and the salty humid breeze from the ocean.  Sigh....I think I will go pack!
