We decided to take on the full day excursion of the Road to Hana for our first full day in Maui. We took the top down off the jeep and cranked the local tunage as we made our way to the Road to Hana, which starts in the small town of Paia. When I booked this trip, I almost put us in the Paia Inn (a small boutiquey hotel in this town), but I am really glad I chose our condo in Lahaina, it’s more our speed :) We stopped at the Shell gas station on the way to purchase the CD Guide for this road tour, the focus of this road tour is the journey, you are reminded that there is little at all to see in the small destination town of Hana. The drive was fun, but was definitely long and windy. By the time we got towards the end (Oheo Gulch), where we swam in the 7 pools, we were not looking forward to the drive back. We had some awesome Ahi tuna kabobs and fresh coconut candy along the way, as well as saw some amazing beaches, waterfalls, and views.
P.S. When we were at the airport returning home to EWR, we overheard an east coast woman saying “Oh yeah we did the Road to Hana, should be called the Road to Hell!”, priceless.
Since we got an early start out, we got back to the condo at a decent hour (6:30pm’sh), where we relaxed a bit then showered up. The dinner decision came to sushi, we had read good things about Sanei Sushi in Kapaula. The sushi was truly amazing, some of the best we have ever had, if you are ever in the area you need to go here.
