There is something about Maui that is good for the soul.

Something in the sweet warm air, the fields of sugar cane and pineapples, the palm trees swaying in the trade winds, the Humpback whales passing by, the soothing surf lulling you to sleep each night, the conch blowing at sunset, the macadamia nuts, poke, laulaus, papayas, Maui chips, Hawaiian sweet bread French toast, sandy beaches, rainbows, waterfalls, volcanoes, tropical birds, tropical flowers, lounging on the lanai with a pina colada and mahi mahi right off the barbeque, swimming with turtles and schools of tropical fish, and spending halcyon days barefoot and carefee.

I miss it already.

Here’s where we stayed:

My brother and I went on a short hike to a blowhole:

This vase from my mom works so well with my funky coffee table that I felt obliged to take a photo (thanks Mom!). Too bad the modern coffee table clashes with the traditional rugs that came with my place.

My brother sent me this photo:

That’s me as a teenager guarding the entrance to the secret compound where the Great Leader lived.

No, not really.  That’s from one of the times my dad took me and my brother target shooting somewhere in the Angeles Crest mountains.  That 7mm rifle now has a good home with my Uncle Heinz.

Canadians aren’t real big on guns. I don’t know anyone in Vancouver that owns one. I don’t. However, when I visit the U.S. I am quickly rearmed:

I was a little rusty with the pistol:

Here’s my friend Ed who owns the guns I was shooting above, showing me how it’s done:

Here’s a video my brother filmed and edited of our family get together in Bass Lake (near Yosemite):
