We are back to reality and the cold of our great Canadian winter. I have updated some Pictures to remember warmer times on our trip.
32 degrees to -10 degrees is a big swing, but it is Great to be back.

Day 61:
Reality is closing in on us, only a few days left. We are relaxing on Maui beaches for the last few days before we head to Seattle to visit with my brothers and their families for American Thanksgiving. We leave Maui on Saturday afternoon. I hope the weather is not too cold when we return.
Well its time for our morning walk on the Beach.

Today was another great Day. We snorkelled Two location. First we entered the Molokini Crater, out in the Pacific . The fish were plentiful and the coral was colorful. It was a little rough so the pictures under the water won't be as great as our second Dive. We saw turtles , Humpback Wkales as well as fish and Coral.
Tonight we are meeting my Cousin, who lives in maui. Chris has lived here for about eight years. It will be fun to meet up again.
Talk soon.

Today we spent aquiet day in Lahaina, we met the Star Princess when it docked but with 2600 passengers leaving the ship we could not find Ceril and Avrille , our friends we met on the cruise. We spent the rest of the day on the beaces around Lahaina, and managed some shopping in Between.
We went to see the Ulalena, A theatrical presentation of the History of Hawaii. WOW!! It was the Best theatre presentation that I have seen.
Tomorrow we are snorkelling in Molokini, a partially submerged Crater off Maui with over three hundred unusual Species of Fish life. Pictures to follow Tomorrow.

We are in maui for the second last week of our adventure. We are going for long walks on the beach each day, about an hour up and down thw Beach. There is no Gym here so we are doing that as our fitness bit.
We have had gyms at all of the other places and we used them nearly every day.
Tomorrow we are going to Lahaina to meet the Star Princess as it docks in Lahaina for the day. We will be meeting Ceril and Avrille who we met on our southbound cruise, and they stayed on for the return cruise.
It just happens that the Star Princess will be here tomorrow.
Then on Wednesday we are going Snorkeling in the Pacific Whale Preserve on Molokini Island. I wii have Pictures for sure!!
Well time to go to the pool to work on our Hawaiian Tan.
Talk soon.

We are on the home stretch. Only 2 weeks to go. We arrived in Maui after 39 hours of travel from Kuala Lumpur, to Tokyo and then on to Hawaii. We are thankful to have a week to relax on the Beach here. Our cobdo is on the beach here in Kihei, Maui, Hawaii.
We are going to get some much needed sleep. I'll update some Pictures of Tokyo Tomorrow.
