Maui - day 5 & day 6


Still here...still having a great time!
We spent most of the day yesterday on the "Road to Hana". It was a fabulous drive with many incredible views. It's what we always thought Hawaii would look like. Tons of vegetation, waterfalls, pools, caves, views of the ocean from high on a cliff, waves crashing on the lava rock, etc. etc. etc. We didn't go with Aimee and Glen four years ago because we had been told that it was just a windy road that took all day. It was that, but so much more. We bought a CD with a self tour and it was great. It let us know of places to stop and things to turn off the road and look for and it was so worth it. We do have pictures now of some incredible stuff, I just don't know yet how to add them to the blog. Last night we went to dinner where we went with Aimee and Glen and watched the Luau from the other restaurant. It was fun. Wandered through some shops again and got a few "prizes"!


Today we rented some snorkel stuff (the free stuff here at the cottage was garbage) and drove 45 minutes south to a Natural Underwater Preserve at Ahihi-Kenau Park. The snorkeling wasn't much different from the area we could have gone right here in Lahaina (MM14) but we did get to see more on the drive. There wasn't a sandy beach, just lots of lava and coral so I was glad to have a beach chair. The snorkeling was fun with lots of colorful fish to see. It really pooped us out and we came home and took a two hour nap! We had planned to watch the sunset but slept right through it. Oh well, there's still tomorrow. Now we're going to cook some salmon for dinner and who knows if we'll go out tonight or not! One day left and we'll be back to real life.

Hawaii?!!!!? I'm jealous! How cool to be in Hawaii enjoying the beauty. I'm happy for you. Sounds gorgeous! Call me when you get home and tell me all about it. We love you guys!! Pat - PS Dave had his bandages changed for the 1st time and had xrays, last Thurs. I thought it looked awful from the outside, but the xrays looked amazing - the pins were holding each little piece of bone in place and the bone grafts are taking, it is incredible what Doctors can do now. The Doctor said the finger looked great, even though I was too uneducated to think so. More stitches come out in 2 weeks and then the pins come out in 4 weeks. Sorry to take up your blog space with our news, but I know you will care to know it.
