Location: Above Napili Bay in a helicopter (with the doors off)
This is one of the many awesome shots I took on the doors-off helicopter tour I took as part of the Maui Photo Festival not so long ago. While we didn’t get to go as far south along the West Maui coastline as Ka’anapali (which would have been awesome), it was still a blast and well worth doing.
Here are a few Google maps to help show where this was taken.
Where did the week go?
Don’t ask me to account for my activities last week after we returned from Maui. It’s been such a losing battle trying to catch up with everything (except sleep, that is) that I can’t keep track of whether I’m coming or going. I did make the promise to myself, however, that after next year’s Maui Photo Festival, I intend to take the following week off from work just to wrap up with everything I need to finish up from that.
Still to come
It hurts to even type up this list because I don’t have a good feel for when I can get to it all, but here it goes. The following is a brief list of things I’m trying to get to in the coming weeks (in no particular order).
- Final trip journal entries from our most recent trip
- Adding new beaches and activity pages from both our February and September trips
- Update our trip details section to include a recap of this most recent trip, as well as plans for a week in February to see the whales
- Get back into the Aloha Friday groove, because I’ve gotten to meet so many cool Maui tweeps since the last time I posted one of those lists
I’m going to stop there, otherwise I might not publish this post altogether. 
Mahalo nui loa for all of our loyal readers that have still stuck with us during this dormant period here at the blog. I promise, once I find what normal is and my life returns to some semblance of that, it will be well worth the wait.
Aloha,
- Kris
