Looking out my hotel window in Maui it is presently mostly clear. I can see humpback whales cavorting offshore. The high today should be in the low 80's.
Heh. Heh.
Yesterday was a pool day although I did drive down to Kihei in the afternoon just to look around. Then supper on the beach in Lahaina. Very relaxing.
This afternoon I have booked a 2 1/2 hour zipline adventure. Another pool day tomorrow followed by a half-day ATV extravaganza on Wednesday. Should get some decent pics.
In the meantime, here are a few snap shots from the recent snorkeling/whale watch cruise.

The Captain and I had a spirited discussion about the residency of humpback whales. It was my position that they are Alaskan whales that winter in Hawaii. He was adamant that they are Hawaiian whales that summer in Alaska.
We were in the midst of a pod of four
Whales, whales everywhere
I had hoped to see a newborn or two; but it was not to be...
Wait for a break in the surf...
...then up on the beach. Quite fun.
Well, time for the daily workout... Later gang.
