Second day--Kamaole III Beach & Iao Valley

Waiting for the other two to get done with their run.



They finally arrived.  Now to swim.  Water in Hawaii is MUCH WARMER than on northern California's beaches.


Starting the hike.  It said it would take about 30 minutes.  It really only took 15.  That's including the steps at the top.

Maui Trip Part I

After many years of wanting to go to Hawaii we finally made it this year.  Jeff now works in the same school district as the girls so spring breaks were aligned.  It was a sign we needed to go to Maui.
 
Waiting for our luggage.  The plane ride was long.  We were ready to stop travelling.


Chickens at the car rental place. 


The chickens were not afraid of humans.  As the girls and I were waiting for Jeff to get our car we pulled out some goldfish to eat.  The chickens quickly came over for food.  When I wouldn't give them any they waited for me to turn my head.  As soon as I did one hopped up and grabbed the cracker out of my hand.  You could say that startled me.  LOL

The first night we headed up to Makawao in the upcountry which is toward Haleakala.  They were having a town party. Not your typical Hawaiian town.  It's considered a "cowboy" town.  Not sure about that but it had good food and neat shops.
