Yesterday, Will and I left the house around 5:15 for our 6:30 flight - very early. We caught some of the sunrise from the airplane; this is the first of many beautiful sights throughout the day. I only wish I was able to capture more of the beauty.

Will and I attempted to use the TomTom (cleverly named "SandyPat") to get to South Maui.. Unfortunately, it took us up and around the mountain.. on a road with no outlet. Hah - we had to backtrack a crazy winding road for about 40 minutes. It was a beautiful view though!

this tree was one of many we saw covered with purple blooms
For the majority of the day, we drove along the coast stopping at the most beautiful beaches. We parked in Ka'anapali for lunch and beaching. The waves were body busters.. hah. Will's term.

Lahaina is one of the only towns on Maui to have a "downtown". We ate delicious shave ice here and shopped around.

After having our fill of the town, we headed down to the South Maui shore (without SandyPat this time).
oh, so beautiful sunset at Maluka Beach. Note Molokini, another nearby island.
view of beautiful clouds while heading north toward the airport.
Will and I had a very American evening: dinner at Burger King and dessert at Krispy Kreme. Oahu does not have a Krispy Kreme, so we had to bring a dozen to share the luxury with friends!
sunset was so beautiful it looked like a painting. HAH!
Eh Brah!!! I do business a lot in Maui and Honolulu...you're making me want to go back soon! Isn't it beautiful there? Sometimes when we are there I think about giving it all up to be a beach bartender lol. Hmmmm :)
