No, I'm lying. I don't have nearly that many. But here they are.

Mt. Haleakala is unbelievably spectacular. I've never seen anything in the world like that. Those binoculars really came in handy.

They have a Safeway here. I've heard you RinkWorkers talking about Safeway before but this is the first one I've ever been in. It's the first one I've even seen.

The top part of the sides of the soda cans are ridged, like in Mexico, rather than indented, like in civilized places.

I have never seen more bikinis in my entire life. On a related note, belly button piercings seem to be really popular here.

If I hear "Aloha" one more time I am going to be ill.

Same with people pronouncing "Hawaii" the Hawaiian way in the middle of an English sentence.

The Hyatt Regency Maui is really nice. The Grand Wailea is even nicer. Illegally nice.

It's really confusing when all the street names, city names, island names, mountain names, etc., are unpronounceable but very similar (Are we in Lahaina or Lanai?). On the entire trip I saw one place name that wasn't in Hawaiian (Shaw Street).

Snorkeling is a lot of fun.

That guy is rolling a joint while giving us directions to the Black Sands Beach. Odd.

Black Sands beach is spectacular as well. But not as cold as Haleakala.
