Who else is going to thaw out in Hawaii?

Celebrating New Years with the Obama's ? lol Have a great trip :)

you are really multiculturel, germany hawaii.... - happy new year

What kind of deal did you get at the Hyatt in Maui? Ah, assumed you meant webmaster access.

Would be cutting it close to make it there today. Think I will wait for Webmaster Access.

$325/night Not too bad.

BD, you going to Maui? If so... for how long and what days? Do you have any plans for a Luau? My cousin-in-law runs The Old Lahina Luau.

Here are a few pics of the premier dancer in the Luau. Her name be Paula.
I hired her to model for me to pose for a sculpture I was working on.

Do you have plans to visit Haleakala? My suggestion to you, (and I'm sure you've been before,) go rent a hog (no helmet laws there) and ride to Hana.
I drive it everytime we go.

Oh also, Paia is an old Hippy town, I'm sure you'll fit right in. Willie Nelson frequents a restaurant there. Up the road away is Makawao. There's a little mexican joint that Santana frequents. We saw him there once.

That's the paradise itself, Redshoe, wonderful and peaceful picts, people and beach..

happy 2009 to you guys.

I have never been to Hawaii before. We are going for Webmaster Access. We will be in Maui from 2/23-26 then Kauai from 2/27 - 3/2.

The only thing I know we are doing is sponsoring a Sunset Cruise on the 26th. I know I heard some talk about a luau when I was in Phoenix a few weeks ago. In fact, I seem to recall hearing Eric mention your name. We can talk more about Hawaii at the game.

nice pics redshoe.

Have a great time baddog!!!!!!

Aloha!

"Kimi no hotel ni ikimashou ka?"

If she is small, with a tight body and doesn't speak your language then just say
that and follow her. :Graucho

looks like a fun time

Have fun, Baddog!
 

I'll bet you're gonna have a fabulous time there! Think of me when you're having breakfast! :food-smil02

:liebe028:

Wow, I was just thinking of you the other day, wondering how you were doing. Why don't you join me for breakfast there?

Hope 09 is a great one for you.

thats awesome ... have fun!

Dude, it's your first time??? If you pass up a trip to Hana on a Hog with the warm Maui air breezing thru your hair ending at Oheo Gulch (known formerly as the 7 sacred pools) to hang out with neeeeeerrrrdddssss, well... then... I dunno...

The man is right.

But the journey doesn't have to end at 7 sacred pools. Plenty to see on the back side as well.

No worries, the bike will be the next thing I reserve.

The primary reason I never had an interest in islands is limited riding space. I can't see any reason to not see all sides of the island as I doubt I will return.

Not sure that I would take a bike down the back side of the road to Hana. :2 cents:

And stop at Mama's Fish House on the way out.

goodgirl would probably go pretty hungry there unless there is a much larger menu onsite.

Lucky you!

Dude, for breakfast there's a place that can't be beat. Seriously, hands down, it's the best fuckin breakfast place I ever ate at. It's called Tasty Crust. http://tastycrust.com/ It's a little hole in the whole, dive. But man.. the breakfast... sooooooooo fuckin good. I recommend the pancakes.

Also, AM's right the Road to Hana is good one way. Once you pass Hana you can go a little further to Charles Lindburgh's grave, but not much further past that the road turns to dirt in some places. If you rent a 4-wheel drive then it's totally worth it.

We have a Jeep Grand Cherokee there and I drag the whole damn family on a trip all the way around from Pia to Hana, to Kihei then to Lahina and up around Kapalua and back down to Kahului and then home. It's soooo worth it. To basically get in a car, go straight, and end up back where you started. It takes a full day though. Oddly enough I can drive it with no problem, but I can barely go to Chatsworth from North Hollywood and not bitch about how far it is.

Also... highly recommended, take a heli tour. Also totally touristy, ask for the tour that'll take you to a place called the 'wall of tears' it's up towards the north side, high up in the mountains. You'll see like several thin white strings coming from above the cloud line. There are a lot of thin waterfalls. They look like strings hanging down against the mountain.

This video doesn't do it any fucking justice at all.

Behind this church is where you can see Charles Linburgh's grave.

The backside of Maui, (past Hana, on the way back to civilization.) I swear that road looks and feels like it was built with one shovel full of asphalt at a time.

fuck.. I could post these all damn day...

There is a great beach on the 'back side' of Hana in the forbidden area they'll tell you not to go to when you rent a car.

It has huge boulders at the waters edge. We call it the bowling ball beach. My husband and I always hit that spot. The waves just crash up on the rocks and you can hear it gurgle as the waves goes back out. It is so peaceful and romantic. I know you'll enjoy yourself.

These pictures are beautiful...but it is even more so in person.

Would love to come over, maybe next time when im a bawler and stuff we can meet.
Untill then: HAVE FUN!

have a great day

Sounds like a plan. Don't forget to sign up for the Sunset Dinner Cruise.

looking at the pics its a great location to attend a show :)

Great Pic's Baddog : )

Thanks, but that goes to RedShoe and AaronM

have a nice time :)

Have a safe trip Baddog, post lots of pics from your bike ride when you're back. I'm looking forward to them.

Your photos are amazing Aaron :thumbsup


I am sure Hawaii will be amazing!!

I love Hawaii :)

I live on Maui, 14 years and counting see you all there. Anyone interested in something doing something different hit me up.

The road was still closed last year at this time due to an earthquake. The drive all the way around that side of the island was always our favorite - was highly disappointed it was blocked last time.

You don't happen to have a picture (of yours!) of that church out there, do you?

Have fun baddog. I'm sure you will go back no matter what you say now! We've gone 6 times/every island now... and still plan many more vacations there.

We totally planned on going to the show, but last night we decided that the $6k+ (and time) the business planned on spending would be better spent shooting a few more models to round out one of the new micro niche sites we're doing.

Would have been so nice to have the biz pay for a Hawaii trip, but I'll just have to pay for it myself in the fall. :disgust

If attending and want to join the Sunset Dinner Cruise please notify us today as I will be making final arrangements tomorrow afternoon.

Make sure to take a lot of pics! <--- goes without saying.

Only because you asked nicely. :winkwink:

I'm so damn excited! I leave in the morning and will be in Maui around 3pm monday.

Who else gets in tomorrow?

We get in about 1.5 hours before you. Want to make sure it is set up properly for your arrival.
