Zipping Lines and Luaus

While lounging on vacation is nice, and necessary, it's not the only thing we did while we were away. There were a couple of days where we checked out what Maui offered.

Five of the six adults in our group took to the zip lines high up in the mountains.

The first line was a test of nerves - at least for me.

After that first zipline was under our belts it was smooth sailing.

While the guys had no problems letting go of the harness neither my mom nor I could quite pull that trigger. Maybe next time. :) 

The views from the mountain were pretty incredible. We were totally surrounded by lush green vegetation, and could see the endless blue ocean beyond.

Some of the lines were so long we couldn't see where we would end up. Talk about exhilarating! 

I love how awesome everyone looks when they're wearing a helmet and a contraption that resembles a full body diaper.

After a few lines we were all riding like we were old pros. Except my mom… At one point my mom managed to stop on the line, way before she was supposed to. Someone had to throw her a rope to reel her in. HAHA!

The whole experience was SUCH a rush!

Another must-do while on the island was see a luau. Not just any luau, but the Old Lahaina Luau (it's *the* best luau). In all of Hawaii the Old Lahaina Luau is the only authentic luau. 

Sadly, I didn't get many photos of the actual event. Let's be real, I was too busy enjoying the show (and free adult beverages) to remember to whip out the camera. Thankfully, I snapped a few before the festivities began.

 Mom and Dad, we want to thank you for having us join along on such an amazing trip. We had the absolute best of times!

Until next time, Maui!
Mahalo and Aloha!
