Read about my trip, experience it vicariously, feel the empty thrill, realize that you're still just sitting at home in front of your computer, envy me, and then I'll post something about traveler's diarrhea or some similar unpleasantness and you'll suddenly be glad to be home in the developed world.

I would put a travel related quote here, but I've referenced a Death Cab song in the title, there's an outdated, weathered map as the backdrop, and the main font is Courier. I don't need a cheesy quote here as well.

Maui 4

I've fully recovered from my bike stupor, and am actually starting to do things! Steve Baker, an old acquaintance of my dad's from the Marines, came to Lahaina and picked me up this morning. I didn't really have a travel plan in place, but he took me to get some supplies, and then drove me up Haleakala. I was hoping to camp up there; unfortunately, I was under-equipped, but I got some good info. The crater of Haleakala is amazing, like an iron-stained piece of Iceland that emerged from the ground at 10,000 feet. My camera was dead, but I plan to return, so expect photos soon. Hitchhiking to Hana tomorrow - should be interesting.

Love you all.
