All Things Maui

Goodness its been a long time... so much to catch up on that I assume it will be the first of a series. If I had to pick up from where I first left off that would be in the same place I am now... IN LOVE WITH MAUI!

Our trip was amazing, to say the least. I found a part of my soul there. It was the most beautiful, inspiring, peaceful and calm place that I have ever known. Well, maybe second to Bora Bora. But when I think of Maui, I think of a place I could easily call home. That is what separates it from any other place. A life there would be an adjustment, but by no means hard. A few things I noticed is that people are outside... daily! Here in Texas, I noticed that there are days when the only breath of fresh air I take is walking to my car to and from work :(

On our vacation we were so active, we swam, hiked, watched sunsets, took walks, went on a helicopter ride, watched the whales, saw Hawaiian shows and ate great food.


I remember one evening it was 5'0clock and we were on our way to dinner. I noticed that every place we drove past people were standing outside. Most of them in small gatherings, they were in parks, streets, apartment complexes... everywhere! I asked Kevin why all these people were outside. His response " It's time for sunset, and everyone in Maui stops to watch the sunset!"

That blew me away. In a world that is so fast pace where people seldom take time to enjoy their surroundings... this is a place that does. The culture, and lifestyle here are something that is humbling and yet inviting all at the same time.

With that being said, its inevitable that we will be living there someday. Our goal now is to position ourselves to be there in 5 years!
