Yes, we just got back from Maui. The trip was to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
The first morning, we had breakfast at our hotel, The Royal Lahaina Resort.
Then we went snorkeling on the beach near our hotel.
ON the 2nd day we went on a sail boat out to Molokini crater for a snorkel trip.
Aren't we lovely?
We love to snorkel. This day we got up really close to an eel and a small shark.
The view from the boat.
This was the nicest boat I have ever been on. It was only 6 weeks old.
One day we went for a drive and accidentally came across Honolua Bay, which we go snorkeling to in a boat later in the week.
We walked down through a thick jungle on our way down to the beach.
This tree was right out next to the beach.
That night we went to dinner at Leilani's Restaurant in Whaler's Village.
The food was so good.
For dessert we shared a hula pie.
After dinner a group of girls put on a hula show at the Whaler's Village.
The next day we decided to try and snorkel at different locations.
We started at Napili Bay. It was pretty good but it started to rain.
So, we decided to try our luck down the southern coast, but it was too windy to go in the water.
WE just sat on the beach and enjoyed the scenery.
Along the road, this lady cooked our lunch.
I ate fish every single day.
There was a big lava field. It reminded me of southern Idaho.
That evening we went back to Whaler's Village.
The sunset was beautiful while we waited for our table at the Hula Grill.
For dessert we had baked Hawaii.
My dinner was my favorite of the whole trip. The best Mahi Mahi fish taco ever made!
The next day we took another boat trip. This time we went to the neighboring island, La'nai
We snorkeled at this beach. And then, we went on a little tour of the only city on the island.
La'nai City (really a town) was built by the pineapple company for the plantation workers.
It is a darling little town. Now there are no pineapple plantations, but the residents now have jobs at the three hotels on the island.
As our boat was leaving the island, we ran across some snorkelers whose boat had capsized.
So, we towed their boat to a sand bar, and rescued them.
The next day we took another boat to Honolua Bay, the place we saw on foot earlier in the week.
Here we saw a turtle up close, but we didn't get a picture of him.
That night we ate dinner at our hotel.
The next day we took the winding road over to Hana. It was an all day trip.
The jungle was very thick and the road was narrow.

The jungle was very thick and the road was narrow. Did I mention that it took us all day?
When we got to Hana we ate hamburgers at this ranch restaurant. The town is so small. We had to laugh because this sign said it was the best stop in Hana. It was the only stop in Hana as far as we could tell.
Hana bay was very pretty.
Our last day, after we checked out of our hotel, we drove to the Ioa Valley.
There we hiked up to this rock which they call the Needle.

We really hated to have to come home. It was Paradise, after all.

Happy Anniversary! I didn't know that is why you were gone. Looks like a lot of fun, and food looks so awesome! I want some.
I love your hair like that, with just the wispies down. You are such a wonder-grammy and I love you millions. Now you can take a month off after that grueling week-- you are truly a wonder.
