Maui Rain!

What a wonderful day of constant rain!  A refreshing break from the heat of the last couple of days, almost like we're not even in Hawaii.  So it's a good day to be in the office.  Get some work done... a day of brainstorming even.

It's nice actually to get some peace and quiet.  It seems like every conversation I get in lately is about the economy, and the "economic situation".  I'm not sure how I feel about this.  You know, certainly it's a good reminder to spend wisely, but we also need to keep fear in perspective.

Most of our information on this "economic situation" comes from a media blast that doesn't completely reflect the reality that we live in.  However, we buy into it.  We yield ourselves to the constant drone of "hard economic times", it scares us into a corner, and we're saturated in fear and greed.  But we don't want that.  We want to live free.  We need a reality check, absent of propaganda.

You know, my wife and I were on a flight from LA to Maui last week, and yet again I was shocked at how full the plane was.  There sure still seems to be ample of travelers, and travelers to Hawaii none the less, in these "economically difficult times".  Don't get me wrong, I know that there are people suffering out there due to some economic situations... my problem is that these sufferings are a result of greed and people not living in reality.  We need a reality check.

Or maybe you need a Hawaiian vacation!  Actually, maybe I need a Hawaiian vacation!  That's more like it... I need to get on some of these Maui activities.

Maui Rain

Man, did it ever rain here the last day!  Maui rain is exceptional though... flashing downpours often refreshing.  It seems as though this past one helped usher in the comfortable Maui winter.  Hawaii weather is typically predictable, especially here.  Eighty degrees and sunny.  But we love to see our grass green up.  Not to mention that Hawaii winter equals North Shore swell!  And Hawaii North Shore means nothing shy of Hawaii Surf!  The mighty ocean bears down on our beloved beaches and reefs.  Green and blue are the backdrop for all of our Maui & other Hawaii adventures and activities.  

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.
