10.1.13 - Un Bello Giorno

            10/365.

I picked up a 2 day Maui trip (25 hour layover) from the overtime pot to help pay for Christmas and to reset my "ETOPS" qualification. ETOPS is a fancy term for flying over water farther than 60 minutes from a suitable airport.  It stands for Extended-range Twin-engine OPerationS, (or if you are a smart-ass: "Engines Turn Or People Swim"). 

I have to do at least one a year to stay current, though I like to hit Hawaii more often than that (especially this time of year)!  Unfortunately I won't be scheduled for them for a while, as I've been "rolled out" of the program (you get 5 years) to let other guys have a go at it.  BUT, as long as I am current, I can pick them up from trades or overtime.  

Anyway, my favourite thing to do in the morning in Maui is borrow a bike from the hotel and ride over to the shops at Wailea to have a Honolulu Coffee Company brew (or two) and an Açai bowl for breakfast.  Then I ride the bike for a bit.  The bikes suck though, old beat-up clunker mountain bikes with loose headsets, rusty chains and noisy derailleurs that won't hold an adjustment.  

Next time I'm gonna pack my helmet and shoes (and pedals) and rent a road bike from the local shop and go explore the island a bit.  Hope it's soon.
