Change of Scenery

We made a trip out to Maui to get away for a bit.  We hit the surf shops and came away with some cool stuff.

Then we checked the conditions at Kanaha (no I didn't bring equipment - I didn't want this to be a winging trip).

We headed up to Haleakala.

You could see the Big Island when you were at the summit.  Driving up you could see Kahoolawe, Molokini, Lanai and Molokai.

I totally got altitude sickness.

Silversword plants were growing at the upper reaches.

I think everyone had a great time!!!

The Newer Hawaiian Islands

The flight path out passed right along a line where you could see Molokai, Lanai, Maui and the Big Island.

Here's where it gets interesting - the Big Island volcano peaks are at the upper right horizon, Haleakala is to the left just under the wing, and Lanai is towards the right lower in the picture.

Pretty sweet!!!

Maui County

You can see the three of the bigger islands that comprise Maui County. This was a couple of weekends ago - super clear day!!!
