I am in Hawaii.
ALOHA is a very common word used here for greeting and parting.
Many of you I’ve asked how I got here … by plane.
I mostly slept throughout the flights and had a wonderful first class flights.
The only thing that was disappointing was the airline misplaced my luggage …
but its all good now.
It was delivered the next day and all my food and tasty treats were all intact.
What part of Hawaii am I? There are 8 Hawaiian islands. I am in the island of MAUI,
known as the Valley Isle. Maui is the 2nd largest island in the Hawaiian chain.
The name of the town I live is KULA, Hawaiian word for Golden … how appropriate 🙂
Kula is an upcountry town in Maui.
My new home is surrounded by green plants, fruit trees and flowers.
This is the view when I go for my morning walk.
Lots of Golden Goodness smell here.
Definitely will share all the wonderful information about Maui, my town, plants, flowers and in general about Hawaii.
What I’ve been doing since I got here. I was a bit jet lag so I slept a lot.
Did I go to the beach? Woof! Definitely.
Did I go for a swim? Woof! Woof! the waves a super high for the past days.
To acclimate me with the sand and salt water, my mom took me to a baby beach.
I got super excited I jumped into the ocean immediately.
I did not swim for a long time as I hurt my right front paw.
Ouch! I was super super excited.
I did several zooomies on the sand and twisted my right front paw.
Resting it for a couple days … for sure I’ll be back swimming in the ocean.
I’ve been also busy being the official ALOHA Greeter.

Did you actually get to ride in first class? Did you have to stay in a crate? Sorry your luggage got lost though.

Sugar, it looks beautiful there! I’m glad your luggage arrived! A friend I knew from 4th grade until sometime in high school also lives on Maui! I found her on facebook a couple years ago and we can at least keep in touch through there. I’m kinda sad that even though you were so close by I never got to meet you in the fur, but happy that you’re in such a pretty place and enjoying it – obviously!!
Wow Sugar, what a neat place to live!!! We are very excited for you.
Oh, Sugar, we are so happy for you and your Mom. It sure looks like a wonderful place for you to be.

Sugar, it looks like you love Maui! It makes us so happy to see you so happy! Our mommy and daddy might be going to Maui next year and if they do they’ll for sure have to go visit you at your shop!
Looks like you are loving your new home quite fine. I’m sure your mom and dad are very happy too. I’m so sorry about your luggage though. Not having your things wasn’t a good thing.
I can’t wait to hear about your new life in Maui. Since being there recently (and I thought about you while I was there too), it makes it even more special for me.
Have a woof woof day Sugar and I hope that paw heals up soon. My best to your mom. 🙂
This is so awesome, Sugar!!!!! I am so excited for you! I did not bother participating because as you know my pug brain is small and I figured I don’t know enough. This is sooo exciting!!! Everyday will be a vacayyy!
Sugar!
Sure you are enjoying Maiu!
Sorry about your paw. I hope you are doing much better now!
Kisses and hugs

Lovies, Miss Mindy
Wow, how awesome. I’m jealous…. What kind of a shop did you guys open, and how did you chose Hawaii?
Hi Sugar, So glad you shared where in the islands you are. Hubby and I used to go to Maui all the time(almost once a year)but then we fell in love with Kauai because it is less populated. I am not familiar with your town, where upcountry is it? I’ll have to look at a map; I hope you have easy access to the ocean though. Happy settling it; what type of shop is mom and dad opening?
Aloha, Noreen
Oh Sugar so sorry you hurt your paw. I hope it’s better now. You looked so cute in all that sand. I bet you had the bestest time. I’m so excited for you and for your whole family. What a change! Can’t wait to hear all about it.
AWESOME! You live in Hawaii! I thought for sure you were moving to the house down the street from me…. Your new place looks like a lot of fun! Enjoy, my friend!
You sure do look happy and very relaxed, Sugar! It’s going to seem like you’re on vacation for a long time to come!
Love ya lots
Mitch
Wow, Sugar! You really are in Hawaii! 😀 Can’t wait to hear about your new adventures!
You are where I want to be!!!! Happy Days, doggie friend.

Oh Sugar we are sooooo jealous! The mamas are going to Hawaii this month, but we will not be able to attend. Maybe one day we will take a vacation there. But until then we cannot wait to see your new life. That is so perfect. Love ya Sugar ~Weinerful Gang~
Wow…you are super lucky. Sorry you hurt your leg though. You got too excited, huh? I bet you had to have a bath after that roll in the sand…yuk!
Well, it sure looked like you enjoyed those zombie rolls. Sorry about the front paw, though. Hope you recover soon from that sprain. You’re in Hawaii!! No hobbling around that beautiful beach.
Oh my beautiful Sugar, I am just sure you will be the best door greeter ever. What a wonderful job you have ad what a wonderful place you get to live in.

I ca’t wait to see all the beautiful pictures you will get to share with us. And all that water. It truly is a “Golden Heaven”
I would love to be in Maui again, we can’t wait. You are one lucky girl! I really like the ocean too…It helps you float. You can probably swim but don’t go too far Sugar!
