Okay, I'm going to try to get on this blogging our vacation photos thing... :) No better place to start than day one...duh! I'm sorry in advance for any rambling, excessive photos, etc. It's my way of scrapbooking, I suppose and I definitely don't want to forget anything b/c it was such a great trip...
We're here! We're here! 7am flight to Dallas, then a 7 hour flight to Maui...and we're finally here! It was 4pm Maui time//9pm Tulsa time when we arrived :)
Agenda upon arrival: 1. Get rental car. 2. Go to KM@RT and buy alcohol snacks for the room 3. Also buy random Tiki dash man! We later named him after...
...this street. B/c we're 12. And it sounds funny. (If you don't get it, you're not thinking immaturely enough...haha) So, yeah, P the Tiki man came with us everywhere (and now sits on my desk at work :) )
Since it was 9pm Tulsa time, we.were.starving. Pulled out the trusty guidebook (special thanks to Meredith for recommending Maui Revealed, the BEST guidebook ever!) and headed to a place it recommended close by. Here I am (looking true to my 4:30 a.m. wake up time but whatever) at Pa'ia Fish Market. Comments through stuffing our faces: "Okay, yeah, guide book writer just earned credibility points..."
A little sleepy, but pretty cheesetastic since we were officially at our hotel! The Fairmont Kea Lani staff was great from the moment we arrived (and I finally got my lei I was so excited about!). They greeted us with punch and leis! Here we are in the open air lobby :)
It was sometime after 7pm and we felt like it was midnight, but we were DETERMINED to walk down to the beach for a minute! :) Looking back at the Fairmont as we walked... gorgeous...
love.this.picture.
Dear Maui-Eric and Jackie miss you....
Hope everyone had a great weekend and a Happy Halloween!

Can't wait to see more, looks gorgeous!!!
Oh I love jumping pictures! Looks like a great trip. I'm jealous.
Hawaii has become our favorite spot and puts Mexico to shame. Umm they speak English, we can use our cell phones, the water is safe, and there aren't ransom kidnappings. I think it's pretty clear!!
Can't wait to see all of your pics and hear about your trip! Day one already sounds like heaven. I could seriously live there. Thanks for your sweet comments about Leighton! And, glad to know we're not the only ones who are over the big Halloween party scene! (does it make us sound even older to actually admit that we prefer to stay in??! ha).
Sounds like a great trip so far; can't wait to see more pics! The one of you jumping is just too cute!

This makes ME want to go back too! Let's pool our money and go together! :)

Maui looks amazing!!! Hawaii's a dream trip of mine, for sure. Can't wait to see more!

Haha, thanks for the shout out--you're awesome! That book really is amazing. Fantastic pictures so far (especially the street sign, I definitely laughed at that one)! :) I will never forget us going to bed at 9a the first few nights (and wide awake at 6a)! Stupid time change!
