Well? Well? We’re all akimbo and agog to hear about your working vacation in hula-land! ---

Her silence indicates one of two things. Either _none_ of the things she/we were speculating about happened – or … ? ---

Akimbo? Now there’s a word I haven’t heard in many moons. My mother used that bit of body language when she was mad at me, which was most of the time. So, Sax, did you get leid? * * * I don’t have to do drugs to mess up my head. I went to Catholic school. ---

I love you guys (crying). It was AWESOME. I haven’t really talked about it yet because I’m still in shock. I ended up staying an extra day (does that answer your leid question, Wally?) and only got back Sunday night. Maui was beautiful and totally hypnotic. The air temperature was in the 80’s and 90’s. The water temperature 75 - 80 degrees. The hibiscus and orchids were in full bloom and extremely fragrant. I saw a ton of rainbows. I met a lot of kick ass people - two surfers really stole my heart - Jason and Victor. Jason invited me to live with him and it was very difficult to say no. After I finish school, I think I may try to live out there, though. I did a lot of hiking, biking, swimming and drinking. I hiked through a rain forest and on the lava deposits at the ocean. I did the 38 mile bike down a mountain trip (thanks, Manhattan, great suggestion!) from 10,000 feet (above the clouds) to sea level. I saw a lot of whales and sea turtles. I got a good, mild tan (I used sunscreen, Eve!) and my hair has lightened by two shades. I wish I had a scanner because I would definetly post some photos - they turned out really well. It was good to get back to my saxophone but other than that, ugh, this dismal, cold, gray town is making me depressed. I hope all of you who I picked up along the way enjoyed the trip, too. Ha ha. Anyone else been to Maui? Have any good stories or experiences? Any vacations coming up? I’ll tell more juicy details about the trip tomorrow, I have to run to school! * * * All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. Stephen Wright ---

I’m off to Hawaii on the 18th, and I’ll be returning on the 28th. We’ll be staying on Maui, also. I haven’t been there since '92, but I enjoyed that trip a lot. We’re going to try horseback riding into the crater and we might charter a sailboat for a day. My mom has friends on Maui, and my parents have been there numerous times. They really love it there, and we almost bought vacation property there (we chose Florida instead, because of the travel difficulties, and we live here now. Isn’t that so great, how I’m flying from Florida to Hawaii, and everyone else is staying up north? I dunno, something about that seems wrong to be. But I ain’t complaining.) * * * _SanibelMan_ - [My Homepage](http://members.macconnect.com/~jonkleinow/) “Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect?

SaxFace: > [@](#): > > Anyone else been to Maui? Have any good stories or experiences? Any vacations coming up? Well, not to Maui. My family and I were on the big island and Oahu in late November-early December and loved it. If we had had the time to take in a third island, it definitely would have been Maui, though. Any coming up? You bet. I’ve just booked my family’s flights for a March trip to the pacific northwest…which means that, assuming everything goes as planned, my wife and I will have, within the first five years of our marriage, seen all 50 US States and all 10 Canadian provinces! I’ll save the celebratory gloating until after I’m back, of course; don’t wanna jinx the trip… * * * Chaim Mattis Keller [ckeller@kozmo.com](mailto:ckeller@kozmo.com) “Sherlock Holmes once said that once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the answer.
