Yeah J,
I know what you mean!!!!
I hadnt been back since 87', 88' and 89.
Didnt seem all that different.
When the boys left it wasnt a big deal but when I checked the cam this morning and there they were it all came flooding back.
Seeing the squalls come down the coast, the colour of the water change from light green to that deep blue/purple after you pass the reef, the rising of the land as it goes up towards Haleakala as you scream back towards the beach, the first taste of a icy beer after a hard days sailing..........ohhhh shutup and do an Uncle Chop Chop.
Im probably making everyone thats been to Maui depressed. I shall stop feeling sorry for myself.

I got my pictures out last night of the world famous 'Banana Bungalow' that I stayed at. Then I shed a tear looking at my pics of uppers and lowers at Kanaha, the dirt road leading in to Sprecklesville, the hill where we sat overlooking Ho'Okipa whilst the Aloha contest ran in mast and and a half high waves with 25 knots, the beautiful grassed rigging areas of Kihei with the sea turtles bobbing in the background. The bright lights of the main street in Lahaiina with Moose Magillacuttys (sic) bar.......
Nah, I'm not depressed at all

See, its not just me that can torture everyone.
A, I stayed at Banana Bungalow my first trip but in those days it was the Happy Valley Inn in Wailuku. You got to listen to locals monster trucks doof doof all night
What about if you stayed up in Haiku, the drive down the Hana hgwy through Maliko Gulch and the first view of the coast near Hookipa with all those whitecaps marching down the coast, priceless.
The drive across from Kihei and seeing the sugar cane going berserk and that first glimpse of the ocean as you drive along past the ****works towards Kanaha.
Im stopping now, before the death threats start.
