Detours. Unplanned changes. A wrong turn. A missed appointment. Being stood up. Not what you expect. Dis-appointments. It not the same. All are actions to have re-actions.

Finally it hit MauiSkiBus. That thing, that thing when one is gone away from home for an extended period. OK. Homesick. It all of a sudden happened while reading a trail map. Why did they have to name one of the four sides of this ski resort Paradise? Perfect tropical breezes, the sound of waves [...]

The water of the color white is so alive, so natural in its white form falling from the skies. Centimeters turn to inches and feet turn to meters. When does a resort get too much snow? Most will say NEVER! Those that have to plow and shovel will say different. What of those that have [...]

Ski resorts have many workers that come from foreign countries for the season. In most of the larger ski resorts in the USA, it seemd to MauiSkiBus that many were from South America. North of the border, in Canada, Australia and England are the top spots, as they are all part of the British Crown. [...]

In 1997, I solo windsurfed from LA to Maui{www.toursmaui.com} and for a few days, half of the time I had no horizon, only 25 foot ocean waves. One set of 20 foot waves was coming from the north and the other set of 20 foot waves were coming from the southest. When they came together, they went [...]
