Bring on the Whales

While our first "whale" trip isn't planned until February of 2009, we saws this from Maui News and thought it was worth a post.

It looks like the first whale sighting of the season was reported over the weekend out in the waters between the island of Lanai and the town of Lahaina on Maui. The article reports that it's not uncommon to see the first whales in October, but it's more common to see them in November instead. I guess just like all of us, the whales can't wait to get back to Maui, either. :)
