Haleakala is “Not that Bad” – Daily Photo

HALEAKALA SUMMIT, Maui (kirkf.com) – Ed and I went on our family vacation to Maui, HI. Besides snorkeling, hanging out on the beach, and eating, I wanted to stay in shape and thought about riding.

Most visitors ride Haleakala downhill but I thought it would be fun to try to ride my bike UP Haleakala.

Looking for something to do on Maui?

We were wanting something to do that would be a bit out of the ordinary while we were on Maui. We completed a morning of snorkeling and a nice dinner at Mama’s Fish House the day before and driven up to the Haleakala summit and enjoyed all there was to do on the summit and some trails. We made the reservation at the Piiholo Ranch the day we drove to Hana through the Wailea Marriott Concierge.

Want Big Bone Fish – Go To Hawaii and call Ollie!

OAHU, HAWAII – My initial contact with Ollie was an email and phone call. As most Hawaiians go, Ollie is as laid back as most. When I tried to get a specific date booked with him in June for my July trip to Hawaii to go for my first bonefish or o’io, as the Hawaiians call them, Ollie just wanted me to call him when we landed in Hawaii. I think I would still call Ollie and let him know you are coming, just to be safe.

$6 Pork Coupon NOT A FAKE! COUPON CONFIRMED!

I was able to use the Charcoal coupon. The clerk had to call a manager because he had never seen the coupon before. I bought the Ball Park Hotdogs for the extra item and the 13 pounds plus some oz. I would have to look at the coupon to know the exact size.

Look at those sunglasses! Mom! What were you thinking?
