One packed day


Mom and dad got their first glimpse of burning sugar cane fields. We drove through that smoke and could feel the heat of the fire through the car. It was impressive


This helicopter could fit 7 people (it doesn't look quite big enough for that, does it?). Of course they put the two slightly squeamish people (Mom and Trish) right in front.


We took a tour of West Maui and Moloka'i Sea Cliffs

Maui Coastline

 An 1,800 foot waterfall on Moloka'i


These sea cliffs rise 3,000 feet out of the sea and are the largest sea cliffs in the world. They don't look that big in this picture. However, when the pilot took us so close to the cliffs we thought we could touch them, they seemed HUGE! (and yes, my palms were sweating)



Thankful to be once again on the ground, we went snorkeling at Black Rock. Mom even got her hair wet! We were excited to see some turtles (and of course an octopus, eel, and lots of other fish)


Then we went to the Nakalele Blow hole. It was kind of weak when we were there (vacation can't be always perfect, right!?)


To finish the long day off, we watched a sunset from the ridge overlooking Kapalua.
