Aloha!!!

Troy and I on the airplane on our way to Maui.

I guess I should mention WHY we are headed to Maui. One of the business Troy orders blinds through (BDD) gives away trips as rewards for selling so much. They are putting us up in a really nice hotel for 6 days 5 nights. Thanks for working so hard Honey! A picture of the coast just before we landed (boy was I glad to get that flight over with)!
Welcome to Maui!
Our balcony even had a patch of grass.

Troy's Lai
My beautiful Orchid Lei
The amazing gift basket that was left in our room. It had candy, chips, granola bars, bottled water, a lava lava for me, a pop up cooler, chocolates, banana macadamia nut pancake mix, a bobble head Hawaiian dancer, key chains, sun block, and tons more! Thanks BDD. We felt really spoiled.Our Submarine ride the next day.
It made me want to go scuba diving...seeing all of the neat stuff at the bottom.

We saw fish, reefs, and even a shipwreck (that was kind of creepy), but thankfully no sharks!
This is the Banyan Tree. I wish I had gotten a better picture of it. It was one large tree that covered an entire block. The branches grow up and then swoop back down to earth and make another "trunk" and more branches come off of that and it continues out from there. It was really neat to see, except there is basically a "shopping mall" of vendors underneath. It kind of took away from the majesty of it all.
These were the carvings at the entrance to the LUAU. Troy got us preferred seating so we had the best seats, and we got to eat first (I know I have a great husband). Hey and you might not think eating first is important but when you are pregnant it is really appreciated.

Great Music

Old Hawaiian games.


Really yummy food!

Troy made me go up on stage and learn the HOOKY LAU dance.

I loved to watch all of the different dances from the polynesian islands.

My favorite was the flame dancer

More to come...
