Unsuccessful trip to the lava

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

So on Tuesday a group of about 6 of us headed to try to walk to walk to the lava and where it pours into the ocean. I have done this about a year ago when I went out w my two friends. That time we just walked right out to the smoke and the ocean, so this time I was thinking it would be the same. Well we drove out to the road and apparently the locals have gotten very particular because they have seen the as a way to make money! The lava has destroyed many of their homes and their land so technically when you are walking out to it you’re on private property, so now you can not get off the quarter of a mile paved road without getting on private property and chancing a ticket from the police! When we got to the end of the road where the lava had taken it over there was police waiting to give you a ticket. So needless to say the trip was not as cool as planned because we didn’t get to see the moving lava. Just a lesson learned that next time we’ll definitely have to pay a local to take us out there!

So we went to the black sand beach nearby after, which was super cool! The waves were huge and so cool!! We all crawled back into the suv with matt sitting in the trunk and headed home.

All in all this has been a great week, I’ve been to the fair, celebrated a friends 30th Bday at 3 am and hung with friends on a mini road trio and spent the day at the beach all day today with a late start to work so I got to hit up happy hour! Life is good this week!! Hope everyone home is doing just as great! I miss everyone!

The Maui county fair

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

Today was the last day of the Maui county fair and about 10 of us went over to join in the festivities. I had gone last year and made sure to go this year. We had. Great time eating some good Hawaiian food, playing games, looking at livestock and looking at different booths! I had so much fun and it’s great to be able to do normal things and seem normal!

One of my roommates went on vacation so now I just have one. A quirky restaurant server, I hope it stays that way for awhile, it is nice having only two in a room. I am hoping a trip to the lava is in order for Saturday so hopefully that means I’ll have at least photos and maybe video of the lava soon!!
