HOME OF THE HUMPBACK WHALES!







Maui IS the Home of these magnificent creatures! At least for the part of the year when the babies are being born. They travel here to give birth in the warm Maui waters and then when the babies are big enough - they head all the way back to Alaska. The Mom's don't eat the entire time they are here and pretty much do nothing but take care of the babies and deal with the males who insist on showing off for them and trying to win their affection. I have been going with the Safari Whale Watch which has a booth at the wharf. It is the fastest boat in Lahaina and can get to where the action is quickly. I love that it is a smaller boat, so you are not stuck at the rail with 100 other camera snapping enthusiasts! Whale season is generally early spring - February through April or so. It's a MUST SEE if you are lucky enough to be in Maui in that time frame.

OK. How DO pineapples grow??? Now there is a great triva question! Someone I know (who shall remain nameless), but is generally a VERY smart cookie, thought that pineapples grow under ground! Wow - imagine that person's amazement when they were shown that, they grow on a bush! It almost looks like the local grocer, just glued a picture perfect, ready-to-eat pineapple, right off the shelf, onto this pointy, sharp, yet unremarkable bush! WHO KNEW? I did - that's who!!

YOU THOUGHT MAUI WAS EXPENSIVE??

Obviously not!! They are giving away trucks! Seriously, air fare is down, and this beautiful home is rented to special people only at a very special price. The going rate is almost double what we charge!
