Ah the Masters…held during the first full week of April, Augusta National Golf Club hosts golf’s first major of the year. To celebrate this wonderful golf tournament, we decided to play a little round of miniature golf at Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park’s miniature golf course. Actually, our intent was to go Box Car Racing with some of our friends from New Hope but due to a small miscommunication we couldn’t get on the track and had to go for Plan…

After watching Ulalena in Lahaina we decided to head back to Kihei. After all, tomorrow would be a long day as we had to meet Tripp in Makawao at like 6:30am. I know what you’re thinking, “why so early?” Believe me, we all had the same thought. But that’s the time they wanted to head out so who am I to complain? Saturday also happened to be Marti’s birthday. How nice that she got to spend her 32nd birthday with…

Well it’s now been a week since I’ve last blogged on this thing. Whew, that’s too long. But not to worry, now that my taxes are done, I’m sure I’ll have a lot more time to devote to blogging. I still want to continue my Maui Memories series, but first I thought I’d give you some light hearted humor. In my bathroom I have three calendars. I usually wait until the end of January to buy them because at that…

Okay, so I haven’t been blogging in a bit. It’s been really busy at work (plus taxes are due next week!) so I haven’t had time to regale you with stories from the Valley Isle. So to make up for it, I’ve created a short slideshow from some of the pictures we took on Maui. Hopefully I’ll be able to provide a little more narration later this week. Ignite’s Maui Trip 2008

A few days before I left for Maui, Keao and I took Cassandra (Keao’s sister) and Lauren (our niece) to the beach. Unfortunately for me, while I was washing off Lauren, I got stung by a bee. The bad news is that I’m allergic to bees (well their poison anyway), the good news is that I’m not dead. Keao wrote about it here. So by the time I reached Maui my foot was still swollen and a little sore. Although…

I started my day as usual, checking emails, reading various news articles and reading through some blogs. I normally read Keao’s, Nely’s, Bryce’s, the Advertiser’s UH Football one and most recently John-John’s. As I was reading Stephen Tsai’s (the Advertiser’s one) blog I noticed he had an article written by Chris Shinnick, a former UH football player. Me with Stephen Tsai (left) and Ferd Lewis (right) in Las Vegas. I met Chris probably sometime around 2000-2001. At the time he…

Although we’re right in the middle of our Maui series, I thought I’d take a little break. One of the highlights of our trip on Maui was the weekend when we went to Hana. As you may have heard, the Road to Hana is a very windy, narrow road. You can read the Wikipedia article here. There is, however, a similiar, albeit shorter, road on the Big Island. It’s known as Saddle Road and it connects Hilo and Waimea. Like…

So after eating lunch and some Guri-Guri ice cream we decided to check out our hotel in Kihei. We were staying at the Kamaole Sands for two nights before heading to Hana for the weekend. Overall, our hotel was more than adequate and we enjoyed it very much. Being on the a neighbor island means getting to do things that you don’t normally get to do, like go to a nude beach. Don’t believe me? The proof is right below:…

So after much preparing and waiting we finally get to go to Maui. I couldn’t wait, I so needed this trip. I can’t believe that the day is finally here and I get to go on work/vacation. With 17 travelers going in and out, this was definitely one of the harder trips I’ve ever coordinated, but no worries, it will all work out in the end right First stop: Krispy Kreme! What trip to Maui would be complete without those…

Last night my friend Nely (who was also our wedding photographer, check out her stuff here) invited a bunch of us out to dinner at the Shabu Shabu House. Nely is visiting from San Diego for a bit so any chance to hang out with her is a cause for celebration (as if we needed one). It was great being able to hang out with some of my old friends that I haven’t seen in a while whilst eating some…
