Drizzle

I will often have friends or visitors comment on the occasional rain that we get here in Maui, especially on the North Shore. I am surprised at their surprise. My response, of course, is: we do live on a Hawaiian TROPICAL island! You do not get the tropics without some precipitation! Now the great thing in all of this is though that even the rain here is pleasant most of the time.

Warm sunshine, drizzle, rain, warm sunshine... the cycle of life, especially during the winter. There is so much that this offers us here though, especially on the Road To Hana. as an example of exceptional Maui activities We have splendid waterfalls, tropical rainforests, even a bamboo forest, all explorative when you do one of our Hana van tours. So let's embrace the rain as refreshment on our lives. And remember that we are in the land of rainbows that show us there is always the sun right behind the waters.

Sunsets and Such

Let's take a minute to talk about Maui sunsets. Of course there are the tourist ways to take in such spectacular events with various Maui activities, but what is amazing is the simple unexpected ones.

Often, as my wife and I drive home in the evenings, we are stunned by the beauty. For instance just last night we decided to spend some time reading in town at Border's. I stepped outside to take a phone call and stepped into this wonder (see inset photo). The reds and pinks are astounding. The peaceful serenity overwhelming. The cloud texture is always different especially with the volcanic West Maui mountains in the backdrop.

I believe sunsets are a time to relax and breathe it all in, especially with your family and loved ones around. And how can you not be excited to enjoy the wonder of Maui when here?
