Maui 2024

Every trip Cindy and I try to do one Big Event... something special. Today we took a paid tour on the Road to Hana... with 620 curves and 46 one lane bridges.

The tour included cultural information, traditional stories, lessons on the Hawaiian language, many stops to purchase food and crafts from locals and visits to waterfalls. There was an opportunity to swim in the waterfalls but I passed as it was freezing cold. We stopped at Black Sand Beach where Cari snorkeled and they provided lunch then proceeded to Turtle Town where many turtles pulled out to bask. Finally, we stopped at a traditional taro farm.

Throughout the day we stopped at 4 State Parks too! It was a 9 hour adventure beginning at 6:50 AM. The weather was perfect as it was much cooler in the rainforest. The vegetation looked prehistoric with large vines hanging down everywhere, bromeliads in the trees, and huge leaves.Läs mer
