We're going to Maui!
Posted by maria
Hi Writers,
It's my great pleasure to announce our sponsorship of the
2008 Maui Writers Conference
, which this year is on the road to Honolulu. Brian and I will be there for three full days over the Labor Day holiday, August 29-September 1 reporting live from the conference via this blog and our e-newsletter. So stay tuned, and if you can get yourself to the Maui Writers Conference, I can promise you won't regret it--this is one of the premiere writing events of the year!
Tell me, who looks more Hawaiian, me or Brian? Check out the poll on the
WD forum
or leave comments here. Mahalo.
Keep Writing,
Maria

Great post! And I think you win, with the flowers in your hair. Wish I could join you in the sun for some fun - but at least I'll be reading your blog for updates.

We are looking forward to hosting the WD team and we'll be sure to get you up to speed on board shorts, flaps, leis and local sayings! No suits or stockings here!
Me ke aloha pumehana,

Cheryl makes a good point about blonde Hawaiians, but you get big points for the flowers. That's really going the extra mile.
I will remain in the Midwest in envy of your superfab business trip. The only place I know that anyone in my office travels for business is Iowa. Envious? I thought not.
