Just Mauid

Aggie and I went to Maui and the Big Island for our honeymoon. It was a wonderful vacation, we got along so well and had fun exploring the two islands. 

We started our vacation in Portland with Basja and went to a sushi restaurant with the sushi belt. Then on to our condo in North Kihei. It was right on the ocean beach and we saw the sunset and whales from our lanai. 

We went to the Big Island to visit Diana and Lori. We stayed in Lori's condo, and it was quite wonderful. Lush gardens and a solar heated swimming pool. She lent us her truck for getting around the island. We went dancing at Gertrude's a jazz club, and yes we danced. 

One day we visited Lori at the beach where she was protecting a baby seal that had just been born. After that we went to a bar and had pupus and drinks. Lot's of fun. 

When we got back to Maui rented another car and was upgraded to a Jeep. Drove the road to Hana, saw beautiful water falls and pools. Went out to the Maui Arts Center and saw Keali'i Reichel for an amazing show. Bought some pillow cases from local artist. 

Here we are on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck to clear the road of a vehicle that almost went off the side. Drove back to our B&B which served us the best fresh fruit every morning. We were in paradise, and enjoyed every moment. 

All in all a great relaxing joyful time. 

Getting Married and other important things

Aggie and I got married on December 30, 2017 by our friend Tova who officiated. I thought it was a wonderful day. The night before I did a mikvah and asked to release criticalness that separates me from others, and asked for unconditional love. The whole day I was in a state of bliss, open to everything I was doing and enjoying Aggie and the event. 

I got to cater it just like we planned. I got Croissants from Provisions that morning and fresh bagels. The day before I bought different smoked fish, including cod, salmon, and tuna. I made a platter of meat and cheeses and some special cheeses Manchego and goat Brie for Anno.

But the best was the Lilikoi Cake for the wedding cake with our bitmoji's on top. 

Aggie surprised me and wore a tuxedo. We put together a playlist of music from Youtube, that was all our favorite tunes including "At Last" performed by Beyonce at the inaugural ball of Barack Obama. 

It was an intimate setting at our house, and perfect for two introverts to share our love. 

Maya was home for almost a month and celebrated her 21st birthday. Lot's of celebrating and socializing this month. 

Happy New Year
