My friend Pam and I try to take one tropical vacation a year.  This year we decided on Maui.  Mostly because our friend, Mark's had one of his vacation homes available so we had a free place to stay.  The house was a block from the ocean on the windward side in Paia.  I got to pay Fred Haywood's office every da (one of our customers). We stayed for about 8 days and did as much as possible.  Lots of snorkling, hiking, eating, drinking, shopping and relaxing.  I should be mandatory to go to Maui at least once a year.
