Thanks Shell!

Some day I want to look like you! :-)

That rip thing you did looks sooo fun. What island was that on? I am

going to Hawaii in Oct and want to try it.

I also want to send in some pictures, but have to figure out how to

do that still...

One thing I just realized, other than the Dr office, this is the only

place I have ever felt secure enough to post my weight.

Thanks for making this a safe place for us to come to Shell!

Kay,

Your very welcome! i'm glad you feel safe here. I was in Kauai and

im telling you to do it! it was so freeing and just the best thing

ever. I am a zipper for life!! It did coast like $100. but it was

well worth it and it was a five hour day.

Shell,

Shoot! I am going to Maui. I wonder if they do that there though. I

will have to check into it. Thanks for the reply. Your pictures are

an inspiration. :-)

Doesn't seem so expensive to do considering it is like 20 bucks an

hour. I was checking into the helicopter rides and THOSE are

expensive. I think we will skip that this time.

Have you stayed on Maui before?

DO you have a recommendation of a good place to stay?

Thanks!

Kay

Hi Kay,

Nope never been to Maui,but im sure we will make it soon. We are

going back to hawaii next year and also were going to England or

Austrlia (SP)? We travel with friends every year and each year one

of us gets to pick were we want to go. I think Its my friend s

turn,but im trying to talk her into England.

We did the helicopter ride,,oh my god talk about beautiful it was

amazing,even if half my ass was hanging out and I thought I was

going to die! Expensive is an understatement! It was $200. bucks a

person! and our other friends loved it and would do it

again,me on the other hand want to try jumping out of a plane

lol,,am I crazy,,yep.

Since I work for Marriott I would say theres no better hotel :)

my vote for Hawaii, is The Big Island the Kona side, I also love Kauaii, i did a great but pricey helicopter tour on the big island of the volcano, it was though very pricey.......................Maui is pretty to, not sure of where to recommend to stay there, i sort of liked the Hana area quieter and more mellow , good luck

--Hey Kay!! Tamara here. Just came back from Maui in May. Theyu do

have the zip lines there, and they are in the most gorgeous tropical

forest you have ever seen!! My goal is to go back and do it when I

have lost enough weight to feel like the line will hold me!!! Try

the Ohana Maui Islander hotel on Dickenson street in Lahaina. It is

modest, but clean, has a refrigerator, coffe pot, and cable in every

room. Let me know if you need more info....I have lots of brochures

from when we were there. Hope this helps. Tamara

Hey Tamara!

Thanks for the suggestion! As luck has it, I already booked there

yesterday. 91 bucks a night. Can't beat that! SO there aren't full

kitchens in the rooms? I wanted to prepare all my own meals...

Thanks for telling me about the Zip on Maui. I am hoping by Oct I

will have lost enough for the weight limit so I can do it! I am at

260 right now.

Did you do one of those snorkeling tours out on the boat to that

island? I am trying to decide which one of those to sign up for there

are like 5 to chose from.

Thanks for your input! I really appreciate it!

--hi Kay. What a trip that you had booked at the sam ehotel!! I

don't know if they have full kitchens now or not; they were

remodeling when we were there this year. WE stayed there last year

when we went and then it was only fridge and coffepot and sink. But

that was not one of the apartment like ones, just a regular room.

Maybe they have upgraded since then. They do have BBQs in the common

areas where you can cook your own, and we went down to Safeway and

bought groceries and kept them in the room. It saved a TON of money,

even thought hings are very expensive over there in the stores. You

should be fine for the zip by then. I know that grown full sized

adult males have no problem, so you should be fine at that weight, I

would think. As for the snorkel tours, we skipped because I got

tattooed the first day we were there and you can't get it in the

ocean water, so we went deep sea fishing instead. But from

everything else I have heard, they are all pretty equal and pretty

much either go out to Molokini or Lanai or both islands. SOme of

them include meals, some don't. Next time, I am soooo there

snorkeling with Nemo!!! If you are planning on going to a Luau,

please take my advice and go to the Old Lahaina Luau. It is

considerably more than the other Luaus, but it is o worth it. WE

tried to go cheaper this year because we took all the kids, and were

so disappointed that we actually walked out. But the Old Lahaina

Luau is fantabulous. Anyway, I have tons of other info, so if you

need any toher stuff, just let me know. Take Care, Tamara

--hi Kay. What a trip that you had booked at the sam ehotel!! I

don't know if they have full kitchens now or not; they were

remodeling when we were there this year. WE stayed there last year

when we went and then it was only fridge and coffepot and sink. But

that was not one of the apartment like ones, just a regular room.

Maybe they have upgraded since then. They do have BBQs in the common

areas where you can cook your own, and we went down to Safeway and

bought groceries and kept them in the room. It saved a TON of money,

even thought hings are very expensive over there in the stores. You

should be fine for the zip by then. I know that grown full sized

adult males have no problem, so you should be fine at that weight, I

would think. As for the snorkel tours, we skipped because I got

tattooed the first day we were there and you can't get it in the

ocean water, so we went deep sea fishing instead. But from

everything else I have heard, they are all pretty equal and pretty

much either go out to Molokini or Lanai or both islands. SOme of

them include meals, some don't. Next time, I am soooo there

snorkeling with Nemo!!! If you are planning on going to a Luau,

please take my advice and go to the Old Lahaina Luau. It is

considerably more than the other Luaus, but it is o worth it. WE

tried to go cheaper this year because we took all the kids, and were

so disappointed that we actually walked out. But the Old Lahaina

Luau is fantabulous. Anyway, I have tons of other info, so if you

need any toher stuff, just let me know. Take Care, Tamara

Tamara,

Yet again I did as you did. I already booked the Old Lahaina luau! lol

I have heard it was the best. 85 bucks for me to eat 2-4 oz of food.

Good deal huh? lol BUT my husband will make up for it in food and

drink! He will be staggering out of there if I have my say about it!

Plus he has never been to a luau before so I can't wait to see his

reaction!

OH! The deep sea fishing is what my husband wants to do. Which

charter did you go on? I have to still book that trip!

What tattoo did you get and where? I might be able to talk my hubby

into one the last day we are there....

I have a couple myself. I was going to wait until I am at goal weight

for my next one for some silly reason. But if this tattoo place is

any good, I may be inspired to get another one!

I guess if worse comes to worse, I can just eat fresh deli meat. I

was hoping to cook lots of fish, might have to eat out for that after

all. minus the macademia nuts(darn it!)

Thanks for the extra info on the hotel. They didn't say much on the

site I booked it through.

Thanks for the info!

Kay
