When we go to Cape Cod we are always trolling around town looking for wi fi to hook into as the cottages we stay at don't have it.<BR/><BR/>Next week on Kauai I'm not sure we'll have it directly in our condo but the website for the place says they have a wi fi hot spot so at least I'll have access somewhere!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-89476160106952609712008-03-05T17:24:00.000-05:002008-03-05T17:24:00.000-05:00Aha- My Statcounter did not lie and you are in H...Aha- My Statcounter did not lie and you <EM>are</EM> in Hawaii.

We actually came here thinking we might buy one of the condos in the place we stay, as an investment and eventually a place to retire to - but found out that because it's leasehold, and the lease runs out before we'd be dead (LOL!) that the math just didn't add up. Apparently there is no guarantee the landowners have to renew the lease. So perhaps we''ll look on Kauai! We would definitely like to live in Hawaii in our retired years!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-47116743321100080792008-03-04T14:37:00.000-05:002008-03-04T14:37:00.000-05:00Maui (like all the Hawaiian islands) is simply spl...Maui (like all the Hawaiian islands) is simply splendid.<BR/><BR/>I love Maui and the trip to the peak of the mountain in the center if the island. I think it's the highest point in Hawaii.<BR/><BR/>Kauai is glorious and maybe my favorite. It's smaller, and so diverse, with the Na'pali cliffs and the 400 waterfalls, and Waimea canyon on the other side. Even the Cocoa Palms resort is whimsical and retro.<BR/><BR/>Heck, I love Honolulu. Oahu is a treasure trove of great finds, from the urban to the remote and such a great vibe.<BR/><BR/>I could definitely live there.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-62537750001487288442008-03-04T14:27:00.000-05:002008-03-04T14:27:00.000-05:00You're most welcome and quite deserving.You're most welcome and quite deserving.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-45652553587310164562008-03-04T12:34:00.000-05:002008-03-04T12:34:00.000-05:00Inarticulate, I just realized I didn't respond to ...Inarticulate, I just realized I didn't respond to your comment - you definitely must come here! And explore all of the islands while you're here - they are all different and wonderful in their own ways.<BR/><BR/>Candace, I was watching Lost a bit in the beginning but found I was getting "lost" if I missed an episode because then I didn't know what was going on! I wonder if it's filmed on Kauai; it has a lot of rain forest and the beaches are more deserted than those of Maui. Kauai is where a number of movies, including South Pacific, were filmed.<BR/><BR/>Kuanyin, I hadn't noticed a lot of vog here although Monday it was kind of hazy - maybe that was from vog? (For anyone who doesn't know, vog is the fog that is caused by the volcano on the Big Island).<BR/><BR/>Fran, you got a lot of good trips for business! The best one I ever got was to San Francisco one time. Another time I got to go on an advertising shoot in LA, which was fun. But usually my trips are much less exciting!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-13869640732917165552008-03-03T20:14:00.000-05:002008-03-03T20:14:00.000-05:00Sounds perfect.

I have been to Oahu 7 times (6 of them on business) and to Kauai 3 times - 2 of them over the weekend when I was in Honolulu for business.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I want to come to Maui one day.<BR/><BR/>As for the freq flyer stuff, I remember those days. They are LONG gone!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-56520329321650109602008-03-03T12:08:00.000-05:002008-03-03T12:08:00.000-05:00Welcome Home!

He took some shots of whales out in the bay this morning, I think one of them may actually look like a whale tail so I'll definitely show that one!<BR/><BR/>DCap, thanks for sharing your memories of the old days of the easy free tickets. I love your segment story. I think my husband took a convoluted trip like that once to get the segments too.<BR/><BR/>Dr. Z and Femaildoc, thanks for letting me know about the ice storm and snowstorm...makes the weather here all the more enjoyable, LOL!<BR/><BR/>Dorothy, I think you should plan a trip here as soon as you are able to! You will definitely deserve it!<BR/><BR/>DCup, it is hard to beat these islands, that is for sure. I love Maui and am also really looking forward to going back to Kauai next week as we haven't been there for 20 years and really never explored it completely.<BR/><BR/>Larry, I try to always keep a little piece of Maui in my heart when I'm away!Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-92046447557347167882008-03-02T09:46:00.000-05:002008-03-02T09:46:00.000-05:00Maui and wifi, sounds like heaven.
