Oy, I have maui-itis.........

Someone help me. I am addicted to this page leading up to my trip. I broke my addiction to this forum 2 years ago. Now that I am planning the trip, I can%26#39;t stop checking in. It%26#39;s bad, possibly worse than ever. It%26#39;s open in a window at work (good thing we are absolutely slow right now and that it is a family owned business). I am stomping my feet because no one is posting. I am going back through old posts to inject myself with further suggestions and forgotten humor.

I am not much of a planner when it comes to vacations. I go and become a beach slug. But for some reason, I find myself actually having to refrain myself from planning, over planning, and obsessing.

Please help. These 11 days are dragging........I need some Aloha fix now!

Oy, I have maui-itis.........

If you think it is bad now...wait till you go then get back to work...there is no cure either, the only relief that can be found is by returning as often as possible.

Oy, I have maui-itis.........

aloha, lisa! so eleven more days and then you go to which islands? just maui? i find pictures more inspiring than words and even though i live in hawaii i keep enjoying travelers%26#39; photos in the photo sharing sites such as webshots.

as for planning i would only plan one larger event every second day. so if you just come to one island for one week, plan for 4: on maui, haleakala comes to mind, the hana trip incl. the winery, then see the uplands like makawao on the way back, another day see the kihei coast and the ocean center, and another day see the coastline on the west side going north as far as you can drive. also it%26#39;s nice to see the iao needle when you are in central maui. then choose the 4 most recommended restaurants. if on a budget, lunch is cheaper than supper.

and then every other day, just rest and hang out at the beach, or join a short snorkeling tour.

enjoy your vacation!

Maui-itis, isn%26#39;t there an anti-fungal ointment for that? Apply liberally for 11 days. Check Target or Freddies and get one of those cute beach towels with the appliqued Hawaiian slippahs. When it stops raining here, you%26#39;ll feel a lot better - I think thats Friday and then late next week sometime and then, you%26#39;re gone.

you think you got it now, wait till you get back. I hope it%26#39;s everything you are hoping it to be Lisa.

Aloha Bill and Hale!!!!!!

BB: Ya, I am exactly afraid of that!!!!

Hale: I am just going to be on Maui this time. My parents will be on Maui and Molakai. Believe me, I want to be nice and relaxed.

Addicted, I have to say that if it is not all I hoped it will be, I shall blame you and all the MF friends for talk it up! LOL. I am sure that it will be great!

Julaf, running to Freddies right now! LOL.

Hey LL, pop over to Blue Hawaiian Helecopter%26#39;s website and take a video tour (or two, or three). The best medicine I%26#39;ve found so far for both the pre and post trip blues.

i think there is a direct correlation to the closer your vacation comes the more posts also come(no comment,addictedtomaui.....lol)
