So in May Michael got to go to Hawaii for the first time. We went to Maui with my parents. We had such a blast. The weather was great, the beaches were beautiful and the food was delicious.
While in Hawaii we got to snorkel. Michael and I saw tons of fish, sea turtles, and we even saw a manta ray. This is a first for both of us. It was amazing how big and graceful these rays are.
We also went to Haleakala Crater. Wow it was cold and windy up there.
We took a tour boat snorkeling around Lania. I was a great trip aboard a giant adventure raft. While over at lania we saw an octopus and a huge pod of dolphins.
We drove the road to Hana, which was a lot of fun and worth the day long trip. Over by Hana we did the pepiwa trail which was amazing. There are gorgeous waterfall all along the way, a bamboo forest and at the end is a 200 foot waterfall that is spectacular.
When we came off the trail at the base where the water flows to the ocean is the seven sacred pools or the .... The pools area was closed so we couldn't go swimming, but it was still beautiful to see.
Also along the road to Hana we saw a black sand beach, red sand beach, Charles Lundbergs grave, ate coconut candy, walked some lava tubes and went through who knows how many twists and turns.
After Maui we took two days on Oahu. There we went to the Dole pineapple plantation and had pineapple ice cream. Unfortunately Michael and my dad didn't want to do the giant maze... oh well.
We went to the Polyneisan Culture Center, which I love. It was so fun. I really enjoyed our day there. While there we did a luau and say their show Breath of Life. Wow, that was truly amazing, if you ever make it over to the Polynesian Center make sure you see the show.
We also got to see the Hawaii Temple.
The next day we spent at Pearl Harbor. Also a must if you go to Oahu. We did the audio tour which was definitely the way to go.
Over all it was a fabulous trip. I think Michael would go again sometime :)
