Road to Hana

08-17-2014
Today was "Road to Hana" day.  While on the way we made a stop at the University of Hawaii (Maui) and visited a "Swap Meet" and bought various gifts for others and native foods for us.  Then we proceeded into the jungle.
From the time we left and arrived at Charles Lindberg's grave site we covered 83 miles.  It took 4 hours.  If you have not driven this road, then you don't know how many switchbacks and one lane bridges there are.  This is not a stress free drive.  The difference between a rental car and your car?  There are places you would not take your car.  This is one.  Just take out full insurance.  Just kidding...  a beautiful drive with stunning scenery.
After we returned to Ma'alea, we stopped at the Safeway grocery store, purchased a pizza and had a wonderful Italian dinner and went to bed.  Sunday will be a day of rest, with a trip to the Mall, for more shopping.  I have brought a good book for me.  Monday we will drive to the volcano.
