lush tropical paradise within the Haggai Institute facilities
I have to admit - and at the risk of sounding trite and hackneyed, Maui is beautiful! I mean it wouldn't be a cliche to say that Hawaii is a tropical paradise for nothing. The surprisingly cool, windy weather, the ready smile of the people - all these were delightful gifts that astound, and delight.
The ten hour flight from Manila to Honolulu was long, but not unpleasant. The two hour wait for the transfer to Maui wasn't that bad. And we first got our first glimpse of Maui as the airplane circled around to prepare for landing, we let out a collective gasp of admiration. The word verdant seemed to be have been invented to describe the lush greenery before us. The sea was an impossible shade of aquamarine, and the gigantic surf from the distance was a wave of warm, vigorous Aloha.
