We arrived in Maui on Saturday afternoon and headed over to Costco to get supplies for our two week visit. The place was a real zoo but then it was Saturday so guess we should have expected that. Drove over the Lahaina where our condo is located. It is on the west coast of Maui. You can see Lanai and Molokai from here.
Our condo is just north of Lahaina on the west side of Maui. It is right on the water and is beautiful and very quiet. You hardly ever hear a car go by during the night, just the ocean lapping on the rocks.

On Sunday we drove up the Hana Highway. Thirty miles of curves and slow traffic on a road that is barely one lane wide in places. Goni was not thrilled by the road but she toughed it out. According to her there is no reason to ever drive this road again.
We found out that Charles Lindbergh is buried up at the end of the road so we visited there. The gravesite is very simple next to an old church. Apparently he lived on Maui when he died and wanted to be buried in this particular spot. So as a fellow aviator I had to visit the site.
Monday we messed around in Lahaina and did some shopping. Went to Snorkel Bob's to get some gear for snorkeling. Goni almost got eaten by a shark but the shark spit her out. My plans of returning to the mainland with a hula girl were dashed.
We took the ferry to Mandele Bay up on Lanai Tuesday and snorkeled around a bit. It was a great day but we were tired when we got back to the condo. But not too tired to get some sunset pictures from the swimming pool area. If you look closely you can see Goni in the pool.
I've been messing around with Picasa so I might have a link to more pictures with my next post.

That shark knows a bad thing when it sees it! LOL I'm glad you two are having fun, can't wait to join you. p.s. I don't want to drive on that road either.
You were crazy to think you could take Mom up the Hana highway and not hear any complaining.
I remember driving up that highway years ago... I remember we stopped at a black sand beach on the way up, and my sister got out and puked all over the pretty black sand!
