Day 4

5:30am
i am awake. barely.
in my bathing suit, getting ready to go snorkeling. say it with me now kids. "snorkeling." the more i say it, the weirder it sounds.

so i did battle with the rooster this morning. at 4 in the morning it was all like, "cock-a-doodle-doo!" and i was like, "shut up rooster." and it was like, "cock-a-doodle-doo!" and i was like, "fine, i'm ignoring you!" and then i woke up at 5, and i was all like, "so, rooster, crow so i can record you." (on a tape recorder) and it was all like, *silence* and i was all like, "i am NOT getting pwned by a rooster!" i recorded that goddamn rooster. it took longer than it should have, but i WON!

i hope no other animals want to do battle with me today. especially cuz i'm going snorkeling. which means i'll be on their turf. or would i be on their surf?

2:29pm
just got back from snorkeling!
so there were two stops. after we got back on the boat from the first stop i started feeling kinda sick. they said that this was normal. i thought that it sucked. but i started feeling a bit better before the second stop and got to swim with giant sea turtles! seriously, they were almost as big as people! after i saw three of them, i had my fill (cuz i was beginning to feel a bit sick again) but it was GORGEOUS. you know those nature shows where you see all the marine life underwater. and you see tropical fish, and coral, and turtles, and blue, blue water? well it's just like that but through your own eyes!!! (all that swimming was so hard on nerd who never sees the light of day! XD)
after that there was a little tour of the islands and they told us all about where the best beaches were. there's Little Beach for nudity and naked fire dancing. there's Big Beach for polishing your feet (the natural process of the sand against your feet when you walk there. one lady was like, "it does!" and held up her foot. it WAS rather smooth.) and Black Beach where the sand is dark! and no one's around. i wanna go there!
on the way back, we stopped off to get some cane juice. as in sugar cane! :)

now i'm gonna go attempt to do something with my hair! ah!

10:45pm
just got home from Front St.
first, i need you all to know something


now that that's out of the way...

so first we had dinner at Whaler's Warf.


Then we roamed for a little while on Front St. and i stumbled upon this:


which looks strangely similar to these:


oh! that's right. it's the SAME PLACE! :D

then i got more gelato. this is what it should look like EVERY time you get served ice cream! (especially gelato):


oh, and i found this bad baby in my pocket yesterday. apparently left there from the last time i wore those pants! :)

forgotten pocket money FTW!

ps. is it wrong that i had "A Song About an Anglerfish" in my head while i was snorkeling?

oh, and the "gate" is neither a gate nor a jar.

Day 3

1:05pm
went to the beach this morning! so relaxing and so pretty! you know those recordings of waves to help you sleep? well this was live and much much better! i nearly did fall asleep!


next i'm going with my aunt to listen to people try to sell her another time share. she's not going to buy it. but it means snorkeling and the luau cost $200 less. so...

also, i posted my video for 7NAP and my 7NAP Extra. yay me of planning ahead! :)

8:23pm
so we went to the time share place. the tour took up most of the first hour and the mumbo-jumbo about points and such took up the SECOND HOUR! we were tired and hungry when it was done.

then we went to Front St. (kinda the main boulevard of Maui). we ate at this place called The Fish Co. and it was REALLY good! Macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi at a table overseeing the ocean. got to watch the sunset. so awesome!


so, i don't know how, but i lost my spare camera battery. i charged it last night. put away the charger, and put the battery... in an undisclosed location. i really don't know how i lost it while writing yesterday's blog! me and my aunt have pretty much turned the place up-side down and it is NOWHERE! i unpacked and repacked my purse, camera bag and suitcase, looked... everywhere. either someone snuck in and stole it (but left my laptop) or a wizard snuck in and placed a shrinking charm on it. my money's on the wizard theory.

snorkeling tomorrow. wake-up time at 5am. g'night interwebs!

**ps. my coconut shall be named Winston the Happy Coconut! :)**
