My time on Maui a month ago seems almost like a dream now. So much has happened since then. Meg and Ari treated me to lots of special things.

A very-early morning birthday snorkeling adventure was magical. We left the house in the dark and drove to Makenna and waded out to board our catamaran.

Hot coffee, fruit, and pastries got us going as we sailed out toward Molokini. We immediately saw breaching whales.

Meg and I had visited the new whale show at the aquarium at Maalaea the day before where we felt like we were beneath the surface, swimming with the whales.

We pulled on our gear and dived in. There is something magical when the water is warmer than the air. The fish were waiting for us.

We reboarded to a full, hot breakfast waiting for us as we headed to Turtle Town. On the way, we were entertained by whales and dolphins playing along side our boat.

Maybe it all seems like a dream because it was.
