Debriefing.

Part of Downtown Kona from the Pier

Maui at last!

I arrived here yesterday around 3 p.m. I was so beat. The last week has been quite a ride as I
mentioned before, and I was exhausted. Staying up late cleaning and packing every night, then
getting up at 5:30 for work everyday, and also feeling like I needed to spend every spare second
being social due to my eminent departure. I'm very greatful for these last couple of days in
Maui.... There were times when I definitely wished that I was just going straight home, but
something in me knew that I would regret it if I didn't come, and eventually be glad if I did
come. So I did, and I'm glad! It is going to be a great time for debrifing, reminding myself of all
that has happened, and all that I've learned here before I come home. Honestly, I feel like a
different person. Anyway, today I spent the whole day as a vegetable on the beach.... (a tomato
to be exact) I did nothing but lie there, read and sleep..... and it was needed. I've been cruising
around mostly on my own, figuring my way around this brand new island and that has been a
lot of fun... just following my own schedule... no more structure meal times THANK YOU
LORD. I love the freedom, but I miss my friends a lot. When I think about the fact that I spent
the last month doing everything in packs, it really surprises me, because I didn't think i was
capable of being a people person 24/7. It's amazing what you can do when you have no choice!
At any rate, I will try to post maui pictures at some point.
I love and miss you all so much. It's hard to believe i'll be seeing everyone again so soon...

surreal!
