Maui

I went to Maui last week for my cousins wedding. It was good to see the family. The wedding was beautiful I drank too much and stayed up too late every night. Got back to L.A. at 12am on Tues. and had to go to work at 8am (good times eh?).

One thing I was surprised about was the amount of "Americanization" on the island, wal mart, Macdonald's, Barns and Nobel they even had a Costco. Not that they don't deserve these, but really? I felt like I was in Santa Barbra or the Santa Monica Mountains.

Another odd thing was the size of the tourists. Americans have got to stop eating so damned much!!

It is currently Humped back Whale breeding season in Maui and Maddy and I went whale watching. It was amazing. The male whales were fighting over the females. Others were jumping out of the water. We even saw a baby whale that was less than a day old. The crew said they had never seen so much aggressive behavior from the males, and stayed out longer the time we paid for to watch them fight.

It's nice to be back in my own bed.
