Halfway on Road to Hana — May 29

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

I am an early riser by nature, but when hanging in the tropics, I am even more so. The first sign of dawn and I am up and at ’em. The mosquitos had a field day on me last night, but I scratched myself like a mad woman and shrugged it off.

Onward to Hana — May 30

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

I am sitting outside in the moonlight at Wai’anapanapa State Park. Listening to the waves crash in below me. It’s awesome.

I awoke at 5am at the YMCA camp and went outside to watch the sunrise. The moment I stepped outside, I felt something crawl across my bare feet,

Hana to Kipahulu — May 31

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

It is very late, technically, it’s Monday, and I am in a most wonderful spot in Kipahulu, feeling blissful on so many levels.

I woke up at Wia’anapanapa State Park and went for a morning walk. I have taken Scooter for his morning walk for years and now he has me trained.

Maui Upcountry — Jun 1

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

It’s 9:30 at night and I am at Hosmer’s Grove, 12 miles south of the summit of Haleakala. I want to get to bed not too late, since I am getting up at 3am for what will hopefully be a monumental event.

I woke up at Cafe Attitude and the rain was coming down something fierce.

Haleakala — June 2

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

It’s late, and I am thoroughly enjoying sitting in my bed, in Wailuku, with an internet connection. OK, that’s a big time understatement. I am in heaven – it’s the first time I have been able to get online since last Thursday!

My day started at 3am, when my phone alarm woke me up.

Beach Days Near Makena — Jun 3 & 4

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

I am sitting at Sansei Sushi in Kihei, enjoying one of my favorite cuisines (Sushi and French are neck and neck). I am combining the last two days into one entry, because they have been easy days. Even an adventurer needs to have a couple of slow days to recoup.

Snorkeling & ‘Iao State Park — Jun 5

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

OK – you may not believe it, but here I sit, at Sansei Sushi again. I promise you, I am not planning on getting accustomed to listening to drunk people singing while I chow down on raw tuna, but through a situation of happenstance, here I am, for the second night in a row.

Aloha Maui — Jun 6

Posted on June 10, 2015 by

It’s almost midnight and I am in my own bed. Which to me, is always a great way to end a vacation, especially one that involved camping and getting wet and sometimes uncomfortable.

I woke up early as usual, and took the next couple hours to finish packing,
