THE SHARK ENCOUNTER!!!

Here it is, finally. Let me start by thanking everyone for your patience, for some reason everything went wrong while trying to finish this video. It is finally done!! So Rachel and I went swimming with sharks with Hawaii Shark Encounters here on Oahu. It was awesome to say the least. The sharks you will see on the video are Sandbar Sharks and Galapagos Sharks. The group that went out before us saw 2 tiger sharks, which is a real treat and apparently very rare. Oh well maybe we'll see one next time. As for watching the video, if you are prone to motion sickness you might want to take some dramamine....seriously it was really rough out there on the north shore and just watching the video might make you queezy, but suprisingly Rachel didn't get the least bit sick the entire time. The video is kind of long, but there are some pretty sweet shots. ENJOY!!!!!

Rachel's weekend trip to Maui!!!!

The first part of our weekend we spent just seeing the island, snorkeling, swimming and just relaxing on the beaches. Day 2 is when we planned to go on the Road to Hana. This is a famous drive that goes by the breathtaking waterfalls and gorgeous landscapes. Well unforunately it was the dry season, we only saw one!!!! Most of the 52 mile journey was winding, one laned and next to the drop off into the ocean. As you will see in the video, I come face to face with a truck on a oneway bridge. He won, I had to back up off the bridge. The one waterfall that we did see, we were able to go swimming, well thought about swimming, the water was very very cold. ( as cold as the water in feb. in the swimming pool back home, dad dared me 20$ to jump in...... of course I did it. Dad stopped playing that game, I charge too much now:):) Ok back to Hana, the day was planned to only take "a couple of hours", well we arrived back at our hotel 12hours later!! I couldn't help but to be a little disappointed and very tired. Overall I 'm glad that I went and did experience the one waterfall that Hana had to offer us.
