We spent a little over two weeks
in Hawaii at the end of August and the first of September. Our
first stop was a time share on Maui in the town of Kihei, which for
those of you who don't speak Hawaiian is pronounced key-hay. One
of the things we enjoy the most in Hawaii is the snorkeling so standby
for pictures of fish as well as a little scenery.

Makena Landing, our first snorkeling
trip |
The water was fairly churned up by the
wind so not a lot of fish sighted or photographed but did get
these little creatures |
After not having much luck snorkeling
on the south end of the island, we headed north to some beaches
we had visited in the past. First was Kaanapali Beach
which is also known as Black Rock Beach for the black rocks at
the north end of the beach. |

|
The water wasn't perfectly clear but we saw a lot of fish, a
turtle, and quite a few rays. |

We took a day off from snorkeling and drove down the Road to
Hana (and a little beyond). The R2H, as it is known, is
famous for being a curving road through the jungle, above the
ocean, and one with great views. How curvy? 620
curves, 56 bridges (49 are one way) packed into less than 50
miles. |
One of the side roads leads down to this beautiful point. |

An unneeded sign. We know there are curves ahead. |
