Waikoloa Village
2 октября 2021 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
Beautiful place to wake up. The Waikoloa Village is pretty... but huge and it takes forever to get from your car to room and vice versa! Got lots of steps in though by the end of the stay here.
Rainbow Falls, Hawaii
2 октября 2021 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

Hilo
2 октября 2021 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 77 °F

Lahaina - Arrival, Star Noodle
4 октября 2021 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F
The fact that we are going back in time to create this entry is extra painful as all of these places in Lahaina are either completely destroyed by the 2023 fires or seriously damaged. BeautifulЧитать далее

Haleakala National Park
5 октября 2021 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
OMG. Haleakala is famous (and fun to say) so we decided to drive up. We had NO idea what we were undertaking. The road is terrifying to two people afraid of heights. Bill drove nice and slow and whenЧитать далее

We didn't have time to drive the whole road to Hana.... and after the drive the day before really weren't up for that. We did the Twin Falls hike, which was beautiful and Bill got some coconut juiceЧитать далее
Maui Pineapple
6 октября 2021 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F
Maui Gold Pineapple was an awesome tour! So amazing to see fields and fields of pineapples... and to know it takes 18 months for the first fruit and another year the second and that is all each plantЧитать далее

Pearl Harbor
