Glad you are enjoying your trip; we are really looking forward to making a trip again, either Maui or the BI.

I'd forgotten about the little winery there on the slope. We did not go there, but it looked nice. We've picked up snacks from the little store across the road a couple of times. Very funny thing happened there too; I was wearing a t-shirt with one of our company logos on it, and went into this store to get a snack. I'm looking over some items, and behind me, a guy pipes up and says "CCMA huh, do you know Ed?" I turn around, and tell him, yeah, I work for him. He introduces himself, and it's a guy that buys and sells some of our alloy. I'd talked to him many times on the phone before, but had never met him before then. Pretty funny.

I love snorkeling, and also agree with you on getting the crap scared out of you when something "pops up" in the viewfinder!!! I was out once on the north side of Maui, and a couple of waves pushed me backwards and I was right over the top of an eel. I inhaled some H2O on that one. Also saw a Nurse Shark under me out at Molkini; I was ready to go eat after that! Had several close encounters with the turtles off the west coast; very cool! Snorkeling is one of the few things I did not get to do on the BI, and I hope to get to correct that oversight some time soon.

If you get to go to the BI, check out Mother's up on the north end in Hawi.
