Bridge One - Amber being oh-so careful

Twin Bridges Hike aka Swinging Bridges

I'm pooperdinked from today. Thanks to my Maui Revealed, we found a hike called the Twin Bridges Hike. Speaking of the book, it's so funny because we've seen someone each day carrying it around & looking for something. We can spot that book a mile away! Mine is the only one with those sticky notes on the edges though. :) Ok, so the hike was 3 hours & 4 miles long. It was beautiful! We went over two of those swinging bridge that would remind you of that bridge from Indiana Jones. At the end was a small waterfall (20 feet or more high) that we all jumped off of. Amber was Hesitant Hannah, but she did it. We were all so tired from the hike that we just ate lunch then went to Costco to get groceries for Hana. We leave for Hana on Tues and return Thurs. Amber & Jason say it's the ultimate Hawaiian spot! I hope to find a hammock somewhere and just lay in the sun. By the way, I have yet to put on make up or get ready to go out. Everyday we listen to Bob Marley and as of today just started listening to the radio - every song on the radio still sounds like Bob Marley though. Everyone here is so laid back - we just put a cover up on and go out to lunch or dinner after a day at the beach. I love it! I have yet to even think about work. We still have six days left here and it seems as though we've seen a lot already. Time here goes by so slowly it seems - Jason told us it would. I hope everyone back home is lovely ... Amber Monty - safe travels to you as you go to South Africa!!

This is where we snorkeled

Another Epic Hawaiian Day

It's almost 10pm here & I'm tired. We have had a long day, again. We got a late start but went to a little Hawaiian swap meet. I bought some nice little gifts for my family (and myself) and so did Boo. I actually could have bought a lot there, it was really neat. We then went to Lahaina (which I loved) and rented snorkel gear and went to a nice little cove. We snorkeled for a short time then camped out there for a couple of hours. Dan fed the birds that were around and managed to have them all land in our area & stay around. Jason, Amber & Dan loved it - me, not so much. We then left & drove around the West part of Maui for about an hour. We saw a lot of the coast and did a short hike. Jason was offered some Maui Wowie twice. Me not knowing what that was wanted some - then found out it was pot. After realizing that I still wanted some. Kidding, kidding ... We then spent the rest of the night back in Lahaina looking in all the shops and of course, eating shaved ice. I have decided to become a shaved ice expert & research all the shaved ice on the island. We ate some Ahi burgers for dinner and now we are home. Most of you may be surprised to know I am not yet burnt. Everyone else is a little red. It is HOT out here ... but the water is surprisingly somewhat cool. I'm still adjusting to the time change. Watch me get used to it the day we leave, that'll happen. So, enjoy the pictures from today! Aloha!
