Nothing to do in Wailea?!? Those “exclusive” hotels front some of the best beaches in the entire state (Wailea/Polo/Ulua/Mokapu)! And not exclusive, as the public access/parking is decent.
And i think there’s better hotel value in Kihei vs Kahului. Only 10mi apart.

Again jay running your mouth off without facts. Seems to be the norm here for some. They contacted us. And that is a perfect example of why I’m here. You don’t like he way bloggers push links. I don’t like the way you guys distort the truth.

See you all again soon

That logo reminds me of…DOS 🙂

Got a long time to plan this one. Making notes, thanks!

If you want to do the drive to Hana and sunrise at Haleakala, save money/points by spending the night in Kahului, you will also save a 45-60 minute positioning drive from the resort area. We drove through Wailea (too exclusive looking, nothing to do), Kihei (seems to be the budget area), Kanaapali (close enough to shopping/activities in Lahaina but still beautiful surroundings). I was glad we stayed at the Hyatt Regency. Got upgraded to partial ocean view which was actually a great view of the pool, flamingoes an docean just beyond and they recognized my birthday.

Don’t miss Old Lahaina Luau! We were just there for my birthday last week and it is the best luau I have ever been to. I booked it 9 months in advance and we had seats right up front. The food is amazing (same people run Aloha Mixed Plate). Drinks are to die for and it killed me that I was driving that night (husband can’t drive) but even the virgin “Lava Flows” are divine! I’m back on my blog live and in person, was auto-blogging over the past month so will have pics in due course.

FYI, you sure were acting like a self annoited spokesman when you called Nightline in to do a feature on your seminars

>>>>>>1. I never wanted to be the spokesman for the space

I said you could. You wanted the money.

>>>>>2. I never consider my calling you guys out detrimental to the space.

Not following, Whatever.

>>>>>>3. My (rants) as you call them here, cost me nothing. Your group is tiny, would never click on FTG links with all the anger at the change to a corporate blog anyway. And my deal was done long before you showed up.

As I said, you very clearly have way too much time on your hands trolling my site so much! I hope my readers do not click on FTG links and I trust they are educated enough to know better!

>>>>>>>>4. And when you talk about taking criticism, you should look at your own responses Georgie boy. Talk about not liking the heat?

I absolutely invite all comments all the time and I especially like criticism. I learn from it. And I am amused by it from some. Funny how negative criticism does not stay up on the FTG blog 🙂

>>>>>>>>But to think you have any influence at all on how to post, comment, write blog posts, insert links, push cards is the biggest laugh of all.

You laugh? Great! TBB is succeeding on the mission to entertain lol. I do my thing here and let readers make up their mind. You sound angry.

>>>>>>>>In eleven months you’ve backed away from your full disclosure rant as you can’t do it yourself, talked about top ten lists for months, but never got around to it.

I have higher priorities in life. Making money on this site is obviously not that high up on the list. Maybe I am afraid it will change me lol.

>>>>>>>Started adding filler posts like all the other bloggers,

Absolutely and confessed to it. Other blogs do this all the time marketing crap to their readers day in and day out. Travel challenge anyone? Puuuulease, you are the last blogger on the face of this planet to raise a peep about filler posts in my own humble opinion! I let my readers decide if they like my filler posts or not.

>>>>>>> tried and failed at monetizing your blog with the simplest of advertising formats

I wonder what happened…

>>>>>>now trying to go to posting very other day, and day in and day out complained about how much time it takes to blog.

You inspire me to keep going, that’s for sure lol.

>>>>>>>>And day in and day out you and your readers continue to take shots at others. What is your motive George?

My readers can freely express themselves in my blog. My motive is: To Entertain. Educate. Inspire. Do at least one well. Thank you for your contributions for the Entertainment part!

>>>>>>>>Educate? That ain’t happening George. Your content is a rehash of others info, photos and all. And yur suggestions on better blogging practices have gone unheard in the space because of your angry delivery. There is nothing educational here.

I respect your opinion. I respectfully disagree with it. In my opinion, you sound whiny.

>>>>>>>Inspire? Sure if your idea of inspire is to provide a space for others to spew there anger. Not very inspirational to me.

You are missing the point. Again.

>>>>>>>>Entertain? You got that one George. I love watching the “angries” justify their importance in protecting the newbie. TBB is just that. Entertaining to a very limited angry few.

So, you admit you are angry and you are entertained! Love it when TBB accomplishes its mission! Another happy reader who can’t let a day (few hours) go by without coming back for further entertainment.

All the best in Chicago. I mean it.

Georgie boy. You sound so angry?

1. I never wanted to be the spokesman for the space. Way too old and does not relate to younger angry crowd. Brian will become the voice of the space. He has the looks, presence, marketing and pr machine.

2. I never consider my calling you guys out detrimental to the space.

3. My (rants) as you call them here, cost me nothing. Your group is tiny, would never click on FTG links with all the anger at the change to a corporate blog anyway. And my deal was done long before you showed up.

4. And when you talk about taking criticism, you should look at your own responses Georgie boy. Talk about not liking the heat?

5. I’m glad you like mommy points method of responding to criticism. But to think you have any influence at all on how to post, comment, write blog posts, insert links, push cards is the biggest laugh of all. In eleven months you’ve backed away from your full disclosure rant as you can’t do it yourself, talked about top ten lists for months, but never got around to it. Started adding filler posts like all the other bloggers, tried and failed at monetizing your blog with the simplest of advertising formats, now trying to go to posting very other day, and day in and day out complained about how much time it takes to blog.

And day in and day out you and your readers continue to take shots at others. What is your motive George?

Educate? That ain’t happening George. Your content is a rehash of others info, photos and all. And yur suggestions on better blogging practices have gone unheard in the space because of your angry delivery. There is nothing educational here.

Inspire? Sure if your idea of inspire is to provide a space for others to spew there anger. Not very inspirational to me
