On Thursday we decided we would do the Road to Hana in the morning, and then hit the pool in the afternoon to relax. We had heard that the Road to Hana was going to be tiring. Everyone was right!
Thanks to our friends Kristen and Elysia- we had a great book which helped guide us through the trip. It's called "Maui Revealed"- it's a great book, giving all of the secrets of where to stop and see the best waterfalls, scenic views, etc.
We knew before we headed out we were only going to try to go to the Kinnae Peninsula. Having Maddyn along, we knew it would be tough to do the whole Hana trip. We ended up going about 3/4 of the way, and turning back. We just hit a point where we needed to turn around before Maddyn became unruly, and since we stopped so much along the way until that point- we were all pretty exhausted.
I have to admit, I had some favorite spots (like the Kinnae Peninsula), but overall I think I enjoyed the earlier places we stopped. Maybe it is b/c I had more energy, but it just seemed that it was easier to get to some of the waterfalls, etc. But we did a ton of hiking and I walked away with some AMAZING photos.
When we finally made it back to the hotel, we decided to just hang out at the resort splash park. I have a few funny videos I grabbed of Maddyn with my tiny point and shoot camera. You might have to turn your head on some (I didn't realize the videos don't rotate automatically, LOL- sorry!). They are cute.
That evening we were so exhausted we just at the Cheeseburger Island Style in the Shops at Wailea, then topped it off with a trip to Lappert's ice cream shoppe. Very casual and just what we needed!
I've put some videos from Day 4 below and am working on uploading the Day 4 photos - but I went a little crazy and have over 200 (hide)...so I need to find the better ones to post! Coming in a little bit!
