How relaxing to spend a week on the island of Maui; except for all the other thousands of people trying to do the same thing. Maui is the "Valley Isle" and appears to be actually two islands connected by a narrow isthmus - on the larger side is the Haleakala Crater which a dormant volcano and on the other side is beautiful rugged mountains. The interior is surrounded by tremendous beaches, rocky cliffs, sleepy harbors and the zigzagiest two lane road you ever saw. Of the numerous outdoor activities we decided on kayaking and snorkeling and fell in love with both activities. We even got to watch a turtle under water feed off a coral reef. This is whale watching season so every stop along the road is a chance to spot spouting and tail fins. We spent a day on the road to Hana which is an adventure all of it's own. It's is definitely not the destination that matters but the journey. Our journey ended at Mama's Fish House in Pa'ia for our best meal on the island. Their menu changes twice a day so that they can not only tell you where the fish was caught but by which fisherman! We went with our friends Paul and Jeannie and had a marvelous time.
Wow, that is wonderful to getaway to hawaii!
