So I've totally been bumming on my "weekend" but you will notice I updated the layout! Oh my god blog layout updates - I hope you can contain your excitement. I have absolutely no idea how to design webpages, or even update templates, so it might be a bit rocky for a minute.
In other news, I went to Lahaina this weekend. It was relatively uneventful. Sean (who lives upcountry now too) and I hitched into town. This proved much more difficult from up where we are living now. To briefly summarize my Lahaina experience: hitchhike, flat tire, sears auto body, city bus, lahaina, irish pub happy hour, beach, city bus, hitchhike, long dark walk home, craigslist search: cars&trucks.
It was weird to be in a city, and see things like grocery stores with JIF Peanut Butter and movie theaters. I didn't realize I had been so isolated! I had expensive Guiness and breakfast at the irish pub. Also weird. And then there was this sailboat, just capsized in the middle of the harbor. Like I said, it was a weird day.

Consider a scooter, much cheaper and lots of fun if you don't have to travel too far.
I have definitely considered getting just a scooter, but the wind & rain on Maui make a moped an impractical permanent ride (according to the locals I've talked to). However, if I find a crap car and have some cash left over I might try to get one for the sunny & shorter journeys. It is summer after all, so much less rainy.
Plus, people who are coming to visit are crossing their fingers that I take this route. They want some scooter action too :)
