October 10–19, 2006

Tropical paradise and we only spent two hours
suntanning at the beach. We were very busy; a
luau, mountaintop drives, volcano treks, beer and
chevre tastings, snorkeling, and perfect sunsets
(with Mai Tais in hand). How we got it all in will re-
main a mystery.
As usual we added a few diversions. We kicked off
Cleveland 650

at a concert with the Irish superstars U2. Followed

by a later night packing binge, and a three-part
flight to Maui. We stayed for five days
Lima 100

(October 10–19). We shared many adventures with

Cleveland friends Lisa and Doug Hiwiller.
