If paradise is a word, then Maui is what it would look visually. Due to a friend's generosity (actually this is his delayed Christmas present), I was lucky enough to see the splendor of this island, part of the Hawaii chain of islands. And the timing is perfect: it is freezing cold in San Francisco and I am tired of it. I need to have some sun or I would go crazy! The other choice was Lake Tahoe--there's too much drama up there--where it's also freezing.

Anyway, the trip was great, the place was fabulous, the company was sexy! Oh my God! I had never seen so many gorgeous, half or nearly naked Filipino guys than the beach in Kapalua! And you know, they know... the smiles and their eyes gave them away. Still, they showed it off...
