Maui AGAIN!

Well I guess its time to dust of the old "blogging" fingers.  Its back to Maui again.  Sorry, no exciting destinations this time.  Just good old home.  As many of you know, I desperately needed a mental escape from reality, so what better place to do that than in the comfort of your old home, your old room, and with your mum cooking your favorite food?  So, if you'd like to know what I'm up to for the next week, check me out here :)

I arrived yesterday afternoon.  Thank goodness I had a nice direct flight in, and a window seat with an EMPTY seat to my right.  Joy!  It was nice to have some nice comfy space for once.  I always love the familiar landing routine, circling over the island and catching sight of the trees lining the airport, the same ones that have been there since I can remember, swaying in the wind.  I prepared myself for that initial rush of hot, humid, salty air that I sometimes long for.  It definitely lets you know that you are home!

Had a nice platter of ahi sashimi at home, along with my favorite salsa from Tiffany (mmmm the Suave) right from her very hands, and guacamole from the light, buttery avos from the trees that hover over my mom's yard.  YUM!  And then I went to bed at 5:00 p.m. because I was exhausted.  Well, I had every intention of taking a "nap," but I needed a good sleep.  So, I slept for about 17 hours.  Most definitely needed.

Got up this morning and had a lovely breakfast with my bro bro and my mum, omelets with cheese, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and avocado, of course slathered with salsa and accompanied by turkey bacon, tofu slices (yes, tofu - we ate it for breakfast here growing up quite frequently), and some sweet and juicy chunks of pineapple.  I always have to to wash my meals down with Aloha Maid passion orange juice, since I cant get that good stuff at home.  Met my brother's beautiful lady, Hilda.  Went and got a haircut from my favorite Portagee hairstylist, Lahela, and had some Genki Sushi for a "snack."  It was ok - save for this one roll that literally made me gag and my eyes watered as I had to spit out the only piece of sushi I have never been able to swallow.  Good grief, I swear it was drizzled and baked with mayonnaise sauce or something.  I cant quite peg what it was (BARF).  Then I went and saw my "second dad" and headed back home for a relaxing evening.

I cant wait to eat dinner.  BBQ shrimp, salad, and brown rice!  Bring on the healthy food.  Evening cocktail anyone?  To my favorite girlies, sometime soon we will have to make a girls trip out here together!  For now, I'm ready to hit the beach all day tomorrow.  Time to relax.  Ahhhhhhh.
