We have spent the last 2 days boogie boarding at Wailea Beach. Boogie boarding sure does use muscles I didn't know I had. I am so sore!! We had 2 boogie boards to share among all 6 of us so when it wasn't my turn I tried to body surf....I can't stress enough that unless you like alot, and I mean ALOT of salt water up your nose I suggest plugging your nose. Of course you trade the burning of salt water for the embarrassment of diving into a wave with your nose plugged. When we first got there I started to tell Chloe about body surfing so as we were walking into the ocean, the water only went up to her ankles, a wave broke about 5 feet in front of her and she laid flat down on the sand and the water barely trickeled over her. I guess I should have told her that you need to be in more then a few inches of water to body surf. It was quite amusing. I think tomorrow we are going to Hana which is on the far east side of the island. That should look more like the tropical Hawaii that I always imagined. We are staying in Maalaea which is Central Maui and looks alot like California except for the rediculously warm ocean water.
I am sure Jake will be posting on his blog all the things I didn't write about so be sure to check his also for a more complete account of our trip so far.
