Well, we made it! Kathy & I arrived on Maui this past Tuesday, and that marks our 50th state visited. We’ll be here about 10 days, home on Friday, March 4.
We’ve got a pretty busy schedule and I’ve been taking a lot of photos. But I don’t think I’m going to spend much of my time at the computer, so here are a few shots from our first evening and first morning to give you all something to look at.
The scenery here is amazing, the people are terrific, the weather is beautiful and we are eating lots of fish. I love Poke, and like lobster in Maine, Hawaii is the place for Poke! 😉
Michael Dickens
Looks great and clever with the Five Oh
Tom Dills
Pretty nice place here. And I had to think of something clever to properly commemorate the event, for sure!
Dottie
So happy for you two finishing your adventure of 50 states. Have a MARVELOUS time!
Tom Dills
Thank you, Dottie. We haven’t had any trouble finding interesting things to do.
Cathy Hoover
Have a super time! You’ve been looking forward to this for so long now. Life is good.
Tom Dills
Yes, it is something we’ve been looking forward to. While it is worth the wait I kind of wish it hadn’t taken so long to get to the top of the list!
Monte Stevens
Now that is inviting. It was 5 degrees this morning here and snow expected later this afternoon. Totally envious! Enjoy, make wonderful memories, take lots of photos and eat all the poke ya want.
Tom Dills
The weather here has been great – “chilly” 60s in the mornings with highs in the low 80s. And the humidity is surprisingly low for somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Nothing like what we find in the Caribbean. I could live here. Except for the money part. 🙂
Jeff Curto
Outstanding! Congrats on getting to 50! In contrast, we had 34” of snow over the course of 36 hours here in da U.P.
Have fun!
Tom Dills
I’ve had ice in my Mai Tais, but no sign of anything like that here! 😉
April
So happy for you both. Stunning views! And 5-Oh….clever as always
Tom Dills
We’re seeing lots of amazing things and I’ve taken a few (thousand!) photos already! Views everywhere! 🙂
John D Linn
Now I want to go back. Florida is nice but nothing like Hawaii. Nice photos and dreamy light. So cool that you have made all 50!
Tom Dills
I would have to agree. Hawaii is not Florida, for sure!
We may be passing through your vicinity in late March or early April. Let’s see if we can meet up for lunch or something.
Howard Grill
Some really beautiful shots. I really like the ones with the purple glow. Congrats on completing the complete set of 50!
Tom Dills
Thank you, Howard! Lots of good material here. 😉
