Humpback Whales!!

 I had heard that when in Maui from December - April, you didn't really need to go on a whale watching tour to see the whales, that you could just see them from shore. Well, I didn't really believe it until we were driving from the airport to the town we are staying. Dave and I were really tired from the trip but we quickly realized we weren't hallucinating and that in our tired state we were actually seeing whales as we were driving along the coast. Dave tells me that there are 37 whales here each year - I'm sure I have seen each and every one of them. Armed only with my crappy point and shoot camera, I still managed to capture some whales breaching while standing on shore and on our lanai. Certainly not the pics that National Geographic will be after but this is our photographic evidence that we saw whales....not on a boat. But tomorrow we are going on a boat....hope to see them closer up!
