Confusion. How does one understand Maui Ski Bus, skiing all these different ski resorts, adding in yoga, but from Maui, where there is yoga, however no skiing? Contacting numerous ski resorts marketing departments and now different yoga studios, MauiSkiBus has been met with funny looks, comments of “I do not understand”, and of course many other [...]

Paintings of Buddah, colorful scenes of surreal mystic places, silk cloths of rainbow shades, artwork form the Far East, numerous flyers of future retreats, cards of instructors and massage therapists, and items for sale.
