Mauied - Part 1
I’ve been back almost a week now and finally adjusted. Here’s the recap.
I drove up to Indy on Friday night to stay with the Charlsons, my long time friends living on the south side and working for Ernst & Young. Zac and I played an hour long game of Suburban Basement Golf, which after many clinch shots from both sides ended in a home team victory. I flew out of Indy early Saturday morning only to land in Chicago and sit on the plane for over an hour due to Ike’s mainland repercussions. Initially, I feared I would miss my non-stop flight to Maui with my parents. However, we didn’t leave until 5 hours after our departure time. While I would have liked to spend that time in Hawaii, I wasn’t too upset and we eventually arrived later that evening. Jade was at the airport to greet us with some leis. We picked up our black Mustang convertible and were off to meet her host family. Now, I was really excited to be driving a rear wheel drive car again. I missed my Camaro so much, I would even drive a Ford. I drove up to Indy on Friday night to stay with the Charlsons, my long time friends living on the south side and working for Ernst & Young.

Sunday morning I got up and went to an early service at Calvary Chapel South Maui. They probably had the coolest sanctuary I will ever step foot in. And no that doesn’t matter one bit when considering what’s important, but it was something good to say. Later in the morning my family met up with the Underwoods, our cousins from California. Justin just took a promotion to be head of food services for the Hilton in Dana Point and Jenna works for the LAPD. Their parents, Shawn and Laurie were along for the trip as well. We all jumped in our convertibles, a MUST in Maui, to head down the Road to Hana. It’s a scenic route following the coast from the northeast side to the south with various stops along the way. Our first was a small waterfall deep enough for some jumping and rope-swinging action. We also walked some trails, swam at a beach, and went through a bamboo forest to a towering waterfall. Us kids also found a pool of water surrounded by rock which we could jump into from the road 40 feet up. After our adventuring came back to the condo to celebrate Justin’s 24th birthday with some cupcakes and friend chicken from the grocery store.Sunday morning I got up and went to an early service at Calvary Chapel South Maui.

Okay, we’ll save some for later… promise.
