The ocean is crashing outside our condo right now. I went outside and sat in the dark in my undies, listening to the waves. It's such an incredible thing about this place to be able to go outside and feel the breeze, listen to the ocean, and feel so warm and cozy. The...

Liz and I did a whole lot of nothing today. We stayed in, let our (admittedly minor) sun burns heal, and then went out for Ululani and an amazing dinner at Merriman's. Sunset tonight (pictured) was incredible; a Merriman's staple. Tired now. Sleeeeep 😴

I'm a bit sunburned. It's finally happened: I actually got a sunburn in Maui. It's on the tops of my hands...which is so annoying, because I don't think I've EVER had a sunburn on the tops of my hands. How did that even happen??? I slathered myself all over the rest...

Today is the last blog entry I'll write in the 1,000s. That's CRAZY. I don't really have anything profound to say about that, except that I'm really, really happy to be crossing into the 2,000s here in Maui. We had quite the good time today. We woke up and had...

Woke up nice and late. I was WIPED last night from all the hiking. We went to breakfast at this tiny place in the middle of this super old resort called Gazebo and had their macadamia nut pancakes 😱 soooo good. Then we ran some errands in Lahaina, came home,...

Liz and I woke up "late" for Pacific Time, but early here in Maui. We made ourselves breakfast, and then went down and explored the area. Not a ton within walking distance, unfortunately, but apparently some amazing beaches just a few minutes by car. We had some early...

Liz and I are back in Maui. It's my third time. First time was to get married here, and that was when I fell in love with this place. Absolutely blown away. Second time was to renew our vows last year and celebrate Liz's birthday. This time...we're just here for...

Holy balls was today a long day. I finished a looooot of stuff today. We're going to Maui tomorrow, and I had a bunch of stuff that needed to be done before we left. First, it was Netflix work. And that started out from behind because I'd been given the wrong...

This one has to be quick. I'm late for bed time... Work was busy today. Nearly finished with the second book write-up in my Story Grid certification..."diagnostic" I think is what it's called, actually. Helped out with a surprise project for most of my day at the...

Sigh...Tommen is gone. Miss him. And I miss writing. I miss that feeling I had when I was writing Starstuff. I was doing something fun, something for me, and all I was focusing on was making it FUN. For the first time in my writing, the characters came alive. That's...
