Aloha!

Wow has time ever flown by! Things have been relaxing yet busy but we've all been having a fantastic time. Right now the crew (Maja and Brandon) are still sleeping. Last night we celebrated Leslie and Charlotte's birthdays by going to Sprackle (?) beach, lighting a bond fire and hanging out in by the light of the full moon. It's was amazing. We stayed until sunrise and it was absolutely stunning! Today we'll be headed to Lahaina for some more R&R and to meet up with Deb, Geoff and Sarah.
We've done so much that it's really kinda crazy! We did a 12 mile hike into the crater of Haleakala (a big ass volcano) which was absolutely stunning. All you could hear were your foot steps and the wind blowing past your ears. It was an awesome hike... it really tested my mental state though. After 8 miles of hiking, the last 4 miles were all switch backs going up about 1000 feet. We were rewarded by watching the sunset at 10 000 feet (and well above the clouds). We've had perfect weather. It only rained once and that was last night for about 10 minutes.
There's been a toga party where we all ventured out in the town to get tacos late at night and there has been drum circles and fire dancing at little beach. We're absolutely loving it here however I think tonight we'll be sending the night in Lahaina and once Maja leaves we'll be leaving the Bungalow to move to a little place in Paia (which is closer to shops, beaches and Brandon's friends).
Anyways time to go make breakfast and maybe take a shower... I am still COVERED in sand... I guess that's what happens when you sleep on the beach :)
