Maui Stuff:
- Flights are booked & paid for. We are travelling via
Air
Canada. We leave Calgary on Saturday May 1st, at ~4PM. We
leave Maui
on Sunday, May 8th at ~ Midnight, and arrive home at about 2PM on
Monday. I believe that both flights have a transfer at Vancouver.
- Our condo's are booked. We are staying at the Koa resort in
Kihei
(webpage: http://www.mauikoaresort3f.com
I think), Tim'll let us know
if this is the wrong webpage. Downpayment has already been made.
- Pete has made all of the down payments for us (Thanx Pete).
To
total cost of these reservations is $950 per person, minus the $250 you
should already have paid, and whatever is in your personal
account. If
you have not yet paid Pete please pay him ASAP. If you do not
know how
much you own you'll need to phone Pete.
- I have been looking into dive shops. Our best bet for gear
rentals
appears to be the Maui Dive Shop (http://www.mauidiveshop.com).
It's
not that their prices are any better then anyone else's, but they have
stores all across Maui (9 in total), so we could buy an air fill card
from them and be able to get discounted fills, regardless of where we
are on the island. For boat dives both the Maui Dive Shop and the
SCUBA Shack (http://www.scubashack.com) seem to have good deals.
Personally I like the SCUBA shack's deals the best - they have more
variability in sites, and more flexibility in time. I haven't
been
able to find any info on rental pricing from the Shack.
Apparently the
Dales have used both of these places, and Tim said they both were
good. I've contacted both stores asking about group rates on
rentals
and the possibility/cost of private charters.
- Passports. If you do not have one you MUST apply
ASAP. It is
nearly impossible these days to fly into the US without proper ID -
some of my friends got turned away just last week for not having
passports. It takes a long time to get your passport, and you're
down
to four months. Cost is $80 Canadian. Passport forms are
available
