We spent yesterday at Haleakala Crater at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Spectacular! Here is a shot...

Today we are longing on the beach. Here is the view from the chair...

The hills in the distance are small volcanoes, the site of the last eruption to occur on Maui, a few hundred years ago. There are some cool otherworldly lava fields just past these hills,

I went snorkelling for over 90 minutes today! Forests of coral, fantastically coloured reef fish, lots of sea turtles. I ended up, stranded on a beach when the wind kicked up making it impossible to swim back, so I picked my way back along the shore. My wife got quite worried, and they were starting to search for me when I showed up.

We went...

I am really enjoying my down time in Maui. Here are some photos from the breakfast table of the koi pond at the resort ...

It appears the heron is eyeing something in the koi pond, but the goldfish look like they could eat the heron.

I came across the following shop later in the day ...

Unfortunately the shop was not open yet -

We just had a fantastic dinner in Maui, with a beutiful view of the sunset. Here are a few photos ...

The dinner was great, A tasty Caprese salad followed by a well prepared Mahi-Mahi dish. After dinner we wandered out to a stargazing event with an amateur astronomer - he went over various constellations, and we looked at Venus, Jupiter and the Orion Nebula

Just arrived in Maui! We will be here until the end of the month. It has been far too long since I have been on an extended vacation.

Here is the view from the balcony...

The sun will be setting soon, we will be watching it as we have our first dinner here tonight.

We just came back from a Sunday drive into the mountains, visiting a small town there.

It was a gorgeous day for this time of year, perfect for a getaway. We had a nice lunch and then shopped around on the Main Street for a bit. Lots of little shops, lots of variety. I saw the following and decided to post it, as this is

I love the feeling of stepping out of the shower, freshly groomed. I take a good long shower on Saturdays, and it is also the day I shave my body. It feels like I am resetting myself after a long week. Here are a few photos ...

I believe underwear should be colourful and fun, here is the pair I chose today...

I just spotted this new Lego kit! The Avengers Helicarrier, 3000 pieces. Can't wait to get it, I love assembling things!

I have it on order now. I also just saw an assembled version at the Lego store, see below.

In my spare time I like to assemble things. It can be IKEA stuff, Lego or whatever. Here are some interesting kits I picked before Xmas. I thought these were a great set!

I am second from the left :-)

I also like to read (usually non-fiction, primarily science and history), to collect music (I have nearly 13,000 tunes on iTunes, from classical to jazz

I just had a very exciting encounter with my special friend. For those who have been following this story, she is a married woman who has shown a ton of interest in me, and who I relate to very well and to whom I feel very close. We have flirted heavily, etc. A few weeks ago we had a chance to get away and consummate...

For the first time ever, I am really hating going to work. I have had a great career, but lately things just seem to have come to a dead end. The area of the business I am in has been challenged for a while, and it has become a lot worse lately with the crash in oil prices (I am in the oil business). The...
