Leave your 'Type A' on the plane. Don't be in a hurry. Take a deep breath and sense the jasmine and plumeria in the air. The ocean will still be there when you are ready for it to be there! On the west side of Maui, check out the rainbows in the mornings and watch the sunset in the evenings. Do the beaches and whatever else in between. Snorkel or SCUBA - watch the fish, but leave the reefs undisturbed. Turn your back to the ocean (makai) and look inland (mauka). There are still spectacular geologic formations, flora and fauna on this island. If you're here in the Winter, watch the whales! The sunsets! and one absolutely memorable sunrise in March, 2000. I was traveling from Napili to Kihei with my dad to canoe with the Kihei canoe club one morning as the rays of the sun were just beginning to split through a mountain pass above Lahaina and just south of the Pioneer Mill. Unfortunately I had no camera. The image was one of intensely vivid rays of the sun splitting at the base of the pass, filtering through a slight haze and spreading brilliantly across the blue sky. I literally expected to see Pele rising from the focal point! I have been by there several times since and never have seen anything close to a similar phenomenon.

If you're truly into finding out some history of the area, walk around town near the old baseball field (near Front Street). This old field used to be a pond that was part of the royal summer retreat in Lahaina, called 'Kamalu-ulu-o-lele'. This field butts up against the back of the old Waiola Church. In the side yard of the church are several old graves, including the crypts of Hawaiian royalty (and several of my relatives). It is interesting to read the gravestones and learn a little bit about old Hawaii. If you go a block closer to Wailuku, you'll see the old prison (on Prison Street!). This is where prisoners were kept as they awaited trial. I'll bet quite a few of the occupants were drunken sailors fresh off their whaling ships! Hmmm. I'll bet that's why I'm 1 / 64 English.

"Lahaina is a busy town"

There is alot going on here but it still has that small town feel to it. But basically this is where the action is and where everyone come to.
I loved walking around Lahaina and exploring this little town. I didnt stay here but I might on my next visit.

"Whew... now I can REST!"

I got 6 hours of sleep, not bad. But drank a tad more than normal, so no feel so hot today. But no rest for the VT-Weary. I have to put this jpgs up before I crash tonite. Well, here are the last 8. The max travelogues permitted and the most jpgs for each! Mahalos for stopping by!

"HOME AGAIN, None the Worse for Wear & Tear"

But we are all a tad.... overdue for a nice long shower. Let's just leave it at that...
