maui busts: lavender fields (in february).

confession: i was DYING to see the lavender fields.

still, i couldn't decide whether to make this a must or a bust.

in february, when the lavender isn't blooming, don't bother.

but i'd imagine that if these rolling hills were covered in

the lovely purple lavender buds, it would be a sight to see.

guess i'll have to go back and see for myself.

have you been to the lavender fields in maui?

maui busts: maui nature center.

the day after the tsunami evacuation,

it rained like i've never seen it rain before.

our options were limited so we decided to hit up the

maui nature center in iao valley...BUST!

it may have been that we were trapped inside.

from what i've read, the greatness is in the nature trails

surrounding the nature center. but seriously? SERIOUSLY?!

that was still no excuse for the ghetto-ness we encountered.

i know it LOOKS like we're having fun here but believe me when

i say that this was the ONLY remotely entertaining aspect of the center.

aaaand i was pretty convinced that i was gonna get lice from

putting that ski cap and gloves on.
