Thank you to everyone who sent well-wishes for our trip to Maui last week. It was a grand-ole time, and Mike officially celebrated 40 with more than a cake and bottle of wine. Phew! The responsibiliites of being a significant other, I tell you!
By way of sharing, here are just a few photos:

Land of waterfalls, endless beaches and craggy lava rock, our home in Kihei (in south Maui) did not disappoint.

The view from our condo was oceanfront, so much so that it basically felt like we were on a boat!

This is a shot from the balcony using a new ’self-photo taking’ technique I’m still perfecting (hence me in shadow, but you can see the scenery fine.)

Let’s see, what was the highlight of the trip? Probably fruit! (Mangos, papaya, figs, coconut, and cherries - from Washington, lol.)

Here he is deciding to leave an avocado unviolated since chances are, it would take longer than a week to ripen…too late to do him any good.

Me again, still trying to take my own photo - but - include some nice scenery in the background. Arty, ain’t it?

This self-photo taking habit of mine is strictly self-preservation - I love a good photo - and Mike dislikes ‘posed’ photos (how’d he ever end up with an Asian girl like me?!)

Hey! Success at last. A *double* photo with a wee bit of background, nice!

Oh wait, you can see the shadow of my arm with camera, haha!

And, last but not least meet Dressy Mike, last photo before heading to the airport. Hey, nice tan! Not too bad for a 40-year old, my dear…
