Day 3 in Maui:
we had booked a submarine trip in the morning and a sunset dinner cruise that night!
For non- divers and the less daring group, the submarine ride a blessing and a real adventure. There's nothing like being the human tank that goes to visit the sea world. It did feel wonderful to visit 3 reefs, have the more nosey fishes swim right to our windows and stare at what's going on. Also having algae on the tank is a big attraction for them. We didn't have the pleasure of seeing a shark but a huge variety of fishes and eels is very exciting. The lovely ride to and fro the submarine gave us pretty views of the west Maui mountains and the sunlight was very generous.
We spent the afternoon in Lahaina district. It felt perfect to walk by the ocean, get lunch, try the maui mango gelato, a spa treatment and shop for souvenirs.
After that we were all set for our cruise. The most enjoyable part
of the cruise was the views, food and
drink . Sadly the ride was cold and the winds were too strong. Towards the end of our ride, it got better and we had great company to chat and thereby fun! That evening it rained in
lahaina, so we were relieved to be back in Wailea where it continued to be dry .

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?!

Suddenly I feel there's time in my hands....the following thoughts cross my mind... - that model on the cover looks awesome, how is that so? - if they actually airbrush pictures , then how come there is a good looking category? - i want to see a brand new juice in the market,tired of the same old ones... - i feel like shopping often.its more a thought than action. - i like clothes that some other women wears...i want stuff like those! - how come there is traffic only when i want to drive? - water is good for me, very good....keep drinking..has anyone tried flavored water? - is flavored water as good for health? - how come some advertisements are soooo good? is it just one person or a team? - when everyone is busy how come i have time? - how is it that my phone rings only when i want to sleep or when i am occupied? - why do i get tanned so quickly? - how come technology is always surprising to me? - why didn't i get into sports or music when i was younger? - why is it that some ...

DVD Play log

As the $1 DVD Rental deal continues to be irresistable after the regular grocery shopping, here's the list of movies we watched in the last few months :- 1) Love n Dancing : - As expected, tons of dancing, but the drama makes it quite balanced. The movie is about egos, ambitions, discovery of self. 2) Angels and Demons :- I definitely think the book was much better. I have not watched The Da Vinci Code, but this one was so dragging towards the end, terrible. 3) Perfect Stranger :- Some part of it is quite predictable, but the attempt here was a plot with a lot of twists and turns with a journalist going undercover to solve the mystery of her missing childhood friend. 4)Up :- A sweet story with some hilarious moments, that could lift up your spirits like the balloons lifting up this "Senior's" house! 5)Taking of Pelham 123:- A thrilling movie, made pretty well. As a Denzel Washington fan, this was definitely worth it and Travolta does well too. I wasn...
