We spent a week on Maui a couple weeks ago. Lots of pretty stuff there. Here's some pics....
Beach at Fairmont Kea Lani resort where we stayed.
Sea Turtles and surf near Mama's Fish House
View from the table at Mama's (great food, by the way)
The Road to Hana....
Black Sand Beach
More Road to Hana....
Seven Pools off Road to Hana
View from near the church where Charles Lindburgh is buried
grave...
The road past Hana on south side of island. They have lots of axis deer there, but we didn't see any. Saw several wild goats.
Secret Beach
The volcano on the main part of Maui is called Haleakala. The summit is a little over 10,000' above sea level. This is the crater. We stayed to see the sun set above the clouds.
Then we stayed a while longer to see the stars. It's supposedly the 4th best spot on the planet to view stars. The Haleakala Observatory is up there.
After an hour's drive down off the mountain after dark back to the hotel, we got up at 3:30am the next morning to go fishing out of Lahaina.
We didn't know that it's bad luck to have bananas on board. M.C. packed some in our snack bag. Fishing was slow at first.
After I offered the captain a banana, we learned about the bad luck deal. He was laughing his head off. He said he didn't believe in that stuff, but his deck hand did. While we were laughing about it, M.C. went down below and got the bananas and threw them overboard. About 5 minutes later we started catching fish.
