The Road to Hana is an all-day event, and when you have the camera clicking away all day long, that adds up to a lot of photos. I figure I can get 4 blog entries out of the Road to Hana day easy, so here is the first installation!

The day started out with your truly making a BIG HUGE FUSS to go to “Paradise Found”, a crepes restaurant I had spied the previous evening. Seems to me I even got ready 34% faster that morning so we would have plenty of time to hit the restaurant before our day-long trip.

Post-crepe glow. “Paradise found”, indeed.

We shared one savory and one sweet, my favorite.

Satisfied self-portrait.

The Boy requested a stop at one of the more “serious” surf areas so we could see how it’s really done.

Considerably larger waves than the ones in front of our hotel!

Er. Sometimes the Boy likes to do a super-duper close-up with my camera’s zoom function just to “delight” me. Here’s my…ass.

Posing awkwardly on a fence. It wasn’t very comfortable, but it had to be done, you understand.

My In-Laws declined to join me.

Ahhhh, better.

The Boy will always climb.

Gazing down. Don’t we look friendly? Maui is Magic.

The Boy and I took about 4324388 photos from the moving car, but I’m only gonna post the…highlights? I mean, really.

Exciting to watch the scenery become lusher as we traveled the Road to Hana.

Garden of Eden next right? Sweeeet!

The 20 billion photos I took at the Arboretum will make up the next blog entry.

Mmmmm…soooo nice.

Oooh! Starting to see more tropical flowers!

The tall trees with orange flowers are called African tulip trees, and they were everywhere.

I was a little obsessed with the vines. I kind of wanted to swing on one (I do have monkey toes, after all).

So gorgeous.

Your Pals roadside. Probably for stop #426723782 for me to relieve my tiny bladder–I am SUCH an old woman.

Gee, that seemed kinda brief. Well, next up: the arboretum!
