Maui Wowie

You remember how I said once you book a trip you start to hear about the location all the time? It’s true. Since booking the trip to Tennessee I’ve seen ads for Tennessee Whiskey and an article about the Chattanooga Train Museum.

And Las Vegas made the news. They just opened a huge Ferris Wheel, the World’s tallest!  There are 28 glass enclosed gondolas that are fully air conditioned. A full rotation takes 30 minutes.

Now I’m wondering if I should start thinking about Hawaii again. Actually I never stop thinking about Hawaii. I love it there but I have delayed a return trip in hopes of seeing more of the as yet un-visited states. But along with the Tennessee and Las Vegas news I keep finding things about Maui, HI.

Last night Wild Hawaii was on Nat Geo Wild. It was all about the ocean around Maui and a large segment concentrated on the humpback whales that migrate to Hawaii to give birth and mate. The show was filled with shots of whales breaching and fins slapping.

That show was followed by another episode but this time about surfing. After the show covered California surfers it segued into “Jaws” and not the shark. Jaws is what they call the huge waves that roll into Maui, HI. in the winter each year. Championship surfing at it’s best.

I picked up another magazine and the feature story was “The Road to Hana”.

Then the science channel had a show about volcanoes and Haleakala was discussed.

Seems to me the universe is lining up to entice me back to the Aloha State. Something to really look forward to.  🙂
