Last week, I had the divine pleasure of realizing a lifetime dream. I woke up on an otherwise ordinary Wednesday morning and by day’s end, I fell asleep to the sounds of the Hawaiian shoreline in my comfy hotel bed in Maui. I’m no jetsetter and hopping planes last-minute to Hawaii is not a typical part of my life, but I had an opportunity and I seized it. The trip was short and my time was well-spent.
If you go to Maui, you must take the time to explore Haleakala National Park. I didn’t get to see everything I hoped to, so I plan on returning to Maui again some day to finish the job. See my other post Snow in Hawaii: Worth the Trip to see how Maui knocked my socks off with a surprise snow, ice and wind storm at the Haleakala Crater. By the next day, Mark and I were catching views more characteristic of Maui, Hawaii, like the ones below. Several of these photos are from the shoreline part of Haleakala National Park on the Hana Highway.
Here’s a sampling of what we saw:
I was utterly fascinated with the smooth black lava rock “sand” which was more pebble-like than sand-like. It’s deep, dark color seemed unnatural at a beach and had at least one redeeming quality (besides its unique beauty):Â it doesn’t stick to your body the way fine sand does!
