We're getting soaked in Paradise

It's been raining throughout the islands during the last 3 weeks and causing landslides, flooding, and major soil erosion in the islands of Kauai and Oahu. We've been lucky in Maui, we didn't get that much rain except the last 2 days.

Today the rain stopped but the weatherman claims that it's only temporary. It's supposed to get back to normal weather this weekend. I hope none of you guys were here the last two weeks or planning to arrive this week

Coming out of our neighborhood, this view caught my attention specially the hairline waterfalls. Normally this mountain is covered with clouds at the top. But save this picture if you like Maui. In about 5 years, the area above the pines will be littered with new homes! A developer already has some approvals to proceed with the development even though many residents are against the defilement of this beautiful area. Even as a Realtor, it sickens me to no end that Developers had to choose this serene location to fill their pockets.

I'm glad that Maui didn't get that much rain. My sister was there and it would have sucked for her. It is sad that development will ruin that piece of paradise. I'll be back there this December.

I thought you might be here anytime soon You should be ok. If it does rain on Thursday, make sure you go to Iao Valley in Wailuku - lots of waterfalls out there. You might also see a few rainbows on your way. We like to tell our friends visiting here when the weather is a little off - "no rain, no rainbows" Lots of Aloha in that statement.

If you have time or when you get bored, give me a call - I will buy you a beer! That's for you too Kevin. (My phone is in my website)

Maui rain is better than Calgary snow!

I jotted down your number from your web site. We're there for 10 days so there's a good chance I'll give you a ring! Maybe you can arrange for a tour of that Golden Conch house .

Do you need anything from the Mainland?
