Okay, those were completely unrelated thoughts, but I really wanted to get the alliteration in there. Call me a dork, but whatever...
Maui
"Why didn't anyone tell me about this place?!?!?!" That's what I kept saying to myself over and over again while I was on the beautiful island. Sure it was pricey. Sure it was cloudy some of the days, but heck, you can't beat the sheer natural beauty of Maui. It definitely felt like paradise. I even braved the elements (and the road) by driving up to Haleakala in the wee hours of the morning to catch the sunrise. I even managed to dodge a stray cow that was grazing(?) on the road heading up to the mountain. By the way, hiking at 10,000 feet after climbing up from sea level is not a good idea. Maui pics are here.
MCO
...of course, is the 3-letter airport code for...Orlando! (I know, it makes no sense.) Regina and I are off on our 4th "Excellent Adventure" this Memorial Day weekend. And this time, we're taking Disney World by storm. Not sure what to make of it yet, except it'll be sweltering hot and humid like a sweaty dog. Lovely imagery.
The month of May
Can't believe it's almost over! Some of the things that have been on my mind recently...
- James Morrison - I know, they feature his music at Starbucks, but hey, James Blunt was featured there, too. Morrison has a throaty sound, his music sounds like a mix of Daniel Powter and James Blunt and it's awesome! Check out "You Give Me Something" and "Wonderful World".
- Brunch at Zazie - Thanks for the recommendation, Madhan. I'm so in love with the gingerbread pancakes. And the fact that you can order everything (including the eggs benedicts) by piece. :-)
- Orange mocha frappucino's are back. Gross. But kudos to Zoolander for singlehandedly planting the name of that drink in our minds forever.
